Great! I bought wind chimes. They had a good variety of bird seed, bird houses, feeders and much more. I highly recommend Wild Birds Unlimited in Gainesville, FL.

Grayson helped us choose the equipment and food we would need to attract a variety of birds when we first visited WBU a few weeks ago. His guidance was so on point that we visited again today to add more feeders and a bird house and were lucky to work with him again. He answers every question clearly, knows so much about birds, their requirements, and which WBU products will meet our needs, plus he is so easy to work with. We can already see that everything we have gotten from WBU is the best quality there is and, with Grayson's help and expertise, we are seeing more species of birds every day. We are very happy customers!

They are great. Mandatory masks, and there's never a lot of customers in the store. They offer curbside pickup too. I have been shopping there for years and I highly recommend the store. They really know their sh...tuff.

How do I keep squirrels away from my bird feeder?

Try offering them their own feeding station with their favorite foods like corn or nuts. Use a squirrel-proof bird feeder, like the Eliminator. Place a baffle on your feeder pole. Use dome baffles above bird feeders. Try an OnGuard™ wire mesh cage around your existing feeders to keep squirrels from reaching the food. Fill your bird feeders with safflower seeds, many songbirds will eat safflower, but squirrels typically won't.

How do I stop birds from hitting my window?

Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 12, 2021

Here are a few options: Set up a window feeder, it will keep the birds safe from striking the window and provide close views of them feeding. If your feeding station is in the direct vicinity of a window, move it to within three feet of the window. Install window screens. Decals and stained-glass decorations are moderately successful. Hanging vertical exterior tape stripes across the window at 4 inches (10 cm) intervals.

I put out a new feeder and the birds are not eating from it, when will they find it?

Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 12, 2021

After installing a new feeder it can take a day or a number of weeks before the birds will readily take to it even if it replaces an existing feeder. Patience is key when birds are getting used to a new feeder. Birds generally find their food by sight. Placing your feeder where it will be visible to them should decrease the time it takes for birds to start feeding. Sprinkling some food on the ground or on top of the feeder can help, too.

I found a baby bird, what should I do?

Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 12, 2021
Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 12, 2021

The best thing to do if you find a baby bird is to leave it alone. If the bird appears as though it has fallen from a nest, an attempt to locate the nest can be made, and the bird can be carefully returned. If the bird has feathers, it may be a fledged bird and a parent bird is probably close by. It is best to watch the bird from a distance to see if a parent returns after an hour or so before determining that the bird needs human help.

Do you sell birds?

How do you keep the bees from the Oriole feeder. The jelly was covered in hundreds of bees.

Wanda Jackson | Sep 12, 2021
Ky Guitar | Sep 12, 2021

You can put marbles in the jelly so that the bees dont get stuck but you can't really stop them from coming to the jelly.

Can the light green bird house I bought which is made out of recycled material be opened without unscrewing it?

Cecilia Collins | Sep 12, 2020

Move the L shaped metal latch out of the way and the side should pop out
