Everyone at Wild Birds Unlimited is super-friendly and knowledgeable. I've been a customer for several years now and it's always fun to shop there. They have beautiful gifts besides birdseed and other birding items. And they carry and load the heavier bags of seed in your car! Get a membership for $25.00 and enjoy savings and specials that only members receive!

We love this little store. We recently moved to Boise and decided to buy a bird feeder and it has been the best purchase we made this year. We put it outside our bedroom window in the backyard and every morning I sit in bed and watch the little birds. Wonderful entertainment and very relaxing.

I have a brownish-grey bird with a rust-red chest that I assume is a Northern flicker male, but no bars or black pelleation. Any ideas?

Doesn't soun like it. They have orange on the head and red cheeks. But difficult to say. One thing I do know is if you want good custermer service do not do business with wild birds unlimited.

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?

Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 25, 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.
