Very Concerned
I don't like the fact they fired that African Amerian Man that worked there. He was sweet and brought a nice vibe to the store, they needed him. It let everyone know how diverse they were until they fired him. That's sad, he made that store so much brighter. I think his name was Carsin or something like that but they definitely could've treated that gentleman alot better. Don't want to call them racist but that's exactly how it looks. Just sad.

Always have helpful knowledge people working. Many options for bird food and feeders.

Fabulous place to get bird food, feeders, gifts, and more. The owners are amazing (and their dogs are adorable). Get lots of great tips plus watch a live feed of their own bird feeders.

I wish I could rate this store higher, but cannot. We purchased a raccoon baffle, of which this store carries two sizes, one is approximately 8 inches in diameter, the larger size is 12 inches in diameter (the Durham store only carries the smaller size, but these stores are franchises and obviously order different products to some extent). My wife relied upon the "expertise" of the staff when making the purchase, for which the staff recommended the smaller size baffle. We installed as instructed, but it did not deter the raccoons from climbing over it and getting into our bird feeders. I filmed the raccoons climbing over the baffle and took it to the store to show them, and asked about bringing the baffle recommended by the staff back and upgrading to the larger size (and paying the difference in price). I was told that once used, no returns (how is one to know it works as sold if not used???). I then brought up the fact this was the one recommended by their "expert" staff, and we based the purchase on the staff's "expertise", at which point the staff person informed me raccoons come in different sizes and they do not know the size of our raccoons (insert hearty laughter here)! As I realized they were not going to back up the sale of a product they recommended, I left. Caveat: when buying a raccoon baffle do not go with the smaller size, as they do not deter raccoons. And do not shop where a product recommended by the store is not eligible for return when it does not perform as stated by the store. EDIT TO RESPOND TO OWNER: If you are willing to entertain a return for the larger baffle, which we would be happy to pay the difference, please let me know and I will bring the smaller baffle back (it is a few weeks old and has not been abused). It was not a matter of the price; we wanted (and still want) a baffle which works (as the cost is easily offset by the amount of bird feed we are now losing to the raccoons)! Perhaps your staff should ask more questions before simply pointing out a product, as the staff member in your store (as indicated in my original post) defended the sale by stating they do not know the size of our raccoons; no one asked about the size of the raccoons when shopping for this baffle (and, to be honest, I am not inclined to grab one to measure and weigh in order to make that determination). Likewise, stating you recommend a particular size based on cost is unrealistic when that recommended product does not function for the purpose intended. EDIT: Upgrading my rating, as the owners provided a larger raccoon baffle, which works as it should! If the return policy were to be revised, I would give five stars.

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.
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.
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.
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.
We don't sell birds. We sell backyard bird feeding supplies including seed, feeders, and bird baths.
