Great store, knowledgeable staff and super friendly. Having been using WBU in Ashburn for 3 years and worth the drive from Reston. We are gone in the winter and neighbors handle our feeders. WBU are a blessing because they will deliver the seed to my door and then the neighbors fill the feeders. Sometimes you never know how many birds you may get and with their delivery service, which I use only occasionally, it is a such a convenience. I really enjoy going into the store, they have an incredible amount of product and fun to browse! Wish they were closer but absolutely worth the drive!!

Update two weeks later, symphony of Finches have set up shop at the feeders. Thank you Wild Birds Unlimited. Sitting in back garden waiting for my four finch birdfeeders to dry (added photo, sorry I did not have a before but it has gone from "throw away?" to brand new). Went to Wild Birds Unlimited because the feeders had become moldy and unusable. Though a franchise each Wild Birds has its local owner and staff and this group is fabulous. Walked me through what I needed to do and provided a few key tools (they even had a paper on the topic so I am not alone). I and the birds are now content. Keep up the great work. No joy like sitting in ones garden surrounded by happy chirping birds. Best store around - goods and advice. A real local gem. Keep up the great work.

Staff and owners are friendly knowledgeable and not pushy. The bird food seems expensive until you realize that high bird food is not mostly shells and waste as most of the discount stuff often is

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 | Oct 15, 2021
Wild Birds Unlimited | Oct 15, 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 you carry wind chimes

Yes we do! We carry the Corinthian Bells Windchimes from QMT. They are hand-crafted in Virginia and have a beautiful sound.
