The Joy of Backyard Bird Feeding
The delight of seeing so many active and energetic birds at your feeders, and knowing that you are having a positive impact on the quality of their lives, makes feeding the birds a real joy; especially this time of the year. The best part is that this joy is available to everyone.
Across North America, over 180 bird species can be attracted to yards with the right food, water, and shelter. Any given yard can attract 60 or more kinds of birds. That’s a lot of joy and all of it right outside your window.
Bird feeding is a fun and educational hobby, and this is the season to share it with everyone.

Providing Water for Birds:
Water is vitally important to birds.
Come by our shop to see our wide selection of bird baths, fountains, bubblers, and more.
Whether they are feeder visitors or not, birds need water. Bird baths offer a dependable source of water and is probably the simplest and most important step you can take to greatly increase the variety of birds in your yard. It can also significantly increase your enjoyment of your birds by allowing you to watch their often comical antics as they drink, bathe and preen.
Every other day you should empty the bath, scrub it with a brush and rinse it well. Refill with fresh water.
If the algae builds up quickly, you can use ten parts water to one part bleach solution to clean the bird bath.
Be sure to rinse well and place fresh water in the bath.
Once cleaned, you can add Bird Bath Protector, available at our shop, to your freshly cleaned bird bath.
This helps prevent stains, sludge, mineral deposits, and organic contamination in our wonderfully hot and humid summers.
Bird bath protector ensures naturally clean water and is safe for birds, pets, and wildlife!
During freezing weather, use a bird bath heater to ensure that birds have a reliable, open source of water.
