Bought a house in the area with a weathered bird feeder that broke when I tried tightening the top after filling it. I went to this store, and found a newer model of the exact same feeder. I went to buy it and told the cashier what had happened and he stopped me from buying it because the feeder has a lifetime warranty. I returned with the parts from the original feeder and they replaced what I broke. Everyone here is friendly and helpful.

It is exciting to have such wonderful resources, both the store's products and its staff, nearby. Ben was exceptionally helpful in solving some bird feeder problems to alleviate some squirrel issues, suggested a bird seed mix and storage option (the container he recommended has an easy pour spout), and gave some amazing overall advice about feeding birds in our locale. He was very professional and knowledgeable, but also kind and considerate (and that dog Charlie also gives a lovely welcome to the store). We just visited for the third time in as many days. Love this place and its staff!

Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Better selection of products and seeds than an unspecialized online vendor.

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.
