Wild Birds Unlimited is a very unusual bird shop. It carries several different levels of bird seed among a shop filled with boxes and different ways of feeding your birds. Calendars notepads cards so many hundreds of items that you didn't even know they made. Worthy of your time to go in and amuse yourselves.You can spend a lot of money in there getting what you think you need or that you do need. Most everything comes with a lifetime guarantee which makes up for most of the price. The other things are so well made you can hardly argue the price. Their bird seeds are so far above others, they last longer than others, you can hardly argue their prices either. So the next time you're thinking about getting something for your backyard for your birds, you go visit their store and before you say no, think about what you're getting and the quality of it before you say no to yourself. Happy birding!!

What a wonderful surprise and experience to find this gem of a store in Lancaster! Mary was super helpful and patient in answering my questions and guiding me in my purchase today. I loved that she didn’t steer me to the most expensive feeder as a novice birder and gave me some good advice on how to begin. She also shared information about the nutritional value of their food and the services they provide. Definitely the place to go for local bird lovers!

I always enjoy going into Wild Birds. I've been a member since they opened, I consider Ed and Grace friends. The staff is friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. The highlight of my visits is always seeing Alex. He's a grey African parrot who loves raisins. I take him a box, he whistles a thank you as I'm leaving.

Delightful shop with very kind and knowledgeable staff. They took the time to educate us on the best feeders and feed for our growing interest in feeding our wild feathered friends and squirrels. The shop is extremely clean and orderly. We were very impressed with the shop inventory of quality products and few if any “gimmicks”. They also offer a paid membership club that is quite a money saver. Most of all we were very impressed by the attitude of selling us the proper products for our present needs of beginners feeding wild birds the proper food. We learned a lot and feel very confident in our purchases. Yes, the shop has a mask rule. So do many other places. Wearing a mask was no issue. We have definitely found a terrific place to purchase our wild bird supplies. We look forward to our next visit to learn more.

Ring their doorbell & someone will happily let you in if you are wearing a mask. The store is limited capacity. Otherwise it's business as usual.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We don't sell birds. We sell backyard bird feeding supplies including seed, feeders, and bird baths.
They have food for finches as well as a wide variety of feeders. They also have numerous blends of high protein and no mess food. I don't believe they have 50 pound bags of black oil sunflower seeds. Rohrers Seed carries the large bags. Wild Birds is a great store with a lot of expertise.
