We have several hummingbirds in our garden and saw a YouTube video for the Nature’s Large Drip or Mist accessory for birdbaths. We’re trying to set up an ideal habitat for at LEAST four sets of hummingbirds and their young. And incorporating a misting birdbath in our garden for them to drink and bathe from is part of that plan. However, Wild Birds Unlimited doesn’t have an online store. So you have to buy products from one of their physical stores. We made the drive from South Central Pennsylvania to WBU Winchester store and the staff were top notch. Not only did we purchase the Drip or Mist, but we also bought a birdbath and several handy wildlife pamphlets. The manager was very knowledgeable, but not in a pushy kind of way at all. I appreciated that most of all. At the time of purchase, they threw in a bag of premium bird seed, bark butter, a birder hobby guide, and info to their podcast. It was a very positive experience for us, and because of that, we most definitely will be return customers. And yes, prices on some of the merchandise at first glance does seem a bit steep. But everything in store is top notch quality by a company that specializes in outdoor birds. If you’re buying your birdseed/bird accessories from Walmart or your local grocer, you’re probably doing it wrong. A lot of what the big box stores sell is more decorative than functional. And in regards to bird food, not the most nutrtional either.

Excellent quality food for birds; great choice of feeders and supplies; knowledgeable, friendly staff. I have shopped here for years and will continue to do so.

A nice store to pick up all your bird feeding needs. Lots of feeders and different types of seeds; from compressed seed in small and large sizes to bagged seed in many types. Have some very solid bird feeder mounts for decks and the yard. Love to shop here for Xmas presents! Certainly can’t go wrong shopping here.

Its expensive, but if you take your wild birds seriously this is definitely the place.

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.
