All of our team members take their temperatures before every shift and note them on their timecards. If anyone has symptoms including fever, they must test COVID negative before any return to work. We have hand sanitizer at the front door, all registers and in all areas in the backroom. We require all team members to wear masks at all times while in the store and also require all customers to wear masks while in the store. Masks must be worn over the mouth and nose without exception. We have plexi barriers between customers and team members at our cashwrap areas and regularly require handwashing and bleach wipe downs of all high traffic areas every hour or more, if a situation makes it necessary. We also offer curbside pickup for any customer not comfortable entering the store to shop with online ordering or by phone, if necessary. We limit the store traffic to 10 or less customers at any one time and work diligently with floor markers and our own direction to keep 6ft distancing

If a feeder is not performing as you had hoped, absolutely it can be returned as long as it’s in sale condition. I’m wondering if the food you’re filling it with isn’t what we might recommend. Perhaps we can take a look at it and see what might be wrong? We would love to troubleshoot this and help you and your birds.

Thanks David! We do sell seed packets for songbirds and pollinators. Thanks for reaching out!

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.

Absolutely this weekend! We have a few more storms in our future as March can be unpredictable. However, we recommend late February to clean houses that have been left out over the winter and to put out those stopped. We are already seeing Mountain Bluebird, nuthatch and chickadee nesting behavior in town and the foothills. Spring Forward with nesting season straight away!

No. Bird seed, bird feeders, bird baths, but no pet birds. There is a friendly store cat tho

We do not offer training for bird rehabilitation. Our comprehensive Certified Bird Feeder Training is focused on the hobby aspects of feeding wild birds and customer experience training. If you are interested in rehab, we recommend contacting the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program or Greenwood Wildlife Sanctuary in Lyons.
