This place is really neat. They have just about everything for wild birds. I love their store and the staff is very helpful. I love it. Oh they have a huge variety of bird feed and feeders too. Go take a look.

Love my bird store!! Staff very friendly and the owner is usually on site too. I've been shopping here for years. All of my bird feeders have been purchased here and the reason is that it may be more expensive but whenever you have a problem with the feeders they repair for you. If you need a squirrel proof feeder I recommend you only buy one that is specific to stopping the squirrels. The one I bought is to keep large birds out of it(the squirrels and other rodents sit in that cage and eat all day long).

What a charming little shop. It’s not just a store for bird accessories it’s also a cute gift shop. We chose a cardinal shaped puzzle and it was pre-wrapped for Christmas. The owner added a red bow just to go above and beyond. This little shop is crucial to visit if you’re in the area. We were greeted by one of their friendly pups at the door. What a treat!

Questions & Answers

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.

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 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.
