I can't say enough good things about WBU. They totally go the extra mile in quality, choice, and most of all, service. They add to one's love of birds.

I always get friendly advice at this store! And they have provided me with solid options I've used to help attract birds to my lot. The staff are always a caring, willing to answer questions and honestly birds themself. Prices might be a bit higher than a discount store, but the friendly, informative service is worth it. And the staff clearly bird themselves, pulling up pictures of how they feed the birds at their own house. This store helped me pick out an appropriate feeder tray (that I can take in in the afternoon as we have bears in the area) and get out each morning; helped me pick a good seed for the area. These additions to my back porch has provided a lot of enjoyment and helped kick off my increased focus on local birds. They also talked me through adding additional elements for different seasons - with a hot tree bark I'll use this winter. They also offer a discount program - that may be simply a way to stay in touch with me, but I appreciate their communications and the discounts. It's simply a joy to walk back into the store; and a store I'll return to and walk out with a solution or maybe just more seed.

Questions & Answers

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?

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?

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?

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.
