The new ownership is really bringing this store alive! They have the best seed and seed blends, and I love their seed towers (specifically, my birds do!). I'm looking forward to their new display of locally produced bird art, too. Wonderful customer service. If you enjoy birds in the AVL area definitely stop in and stock up.

I love this store. The staff and Casey the owner/manager really know a lot about birds and are always so helpful. As an animal lover and cat parent I appreciate that they always have a rescue cat in the store which they adopt out and replace with another. Birders know the importance of keeping cats indoors ! The bulletin board always has local birding activities and the in store Saturday programs are excellent. The selection of bird food and supplies is everything you could possibly need to attract birds to your yard. I also feed squirrels and turkeys and I can get their food there as well. They also have s nice variety of bird themed cards and gifts. As a member of their Daily Savings Club its nice to get the discount and after so many purchases, a $10 voucher ( bird bucks) to use in store

Knowledgeable and helpful staff. The old adage "you get what you pay for" is very applicable here - yes, you will pay more than at a big box store, but their feed is high quality, fresh and not 90% cheap filler seeds that most birds ignore. Their feeders are well made and save money in the long run over replacing the cheap box store ones yearly. In the spring they have live mealworms which the bluebirds feeding young really appreciate! Highly recommend this store.

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?

Wild Birds Unlimited | Sep 27, 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?

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

Do they sell amazon parrots? And if they do, do they have layway?

It's a nature shop which sells wild bird seed, feeders and garden items. They do not sell birds.
