🌟Nyjer is on sale at WBU now through Aug.19🌟
🐤These beautiful yellow birds brighten up our yard and our day!
With the joy they bring we are always looking to attract them to our yard.
Nyjer is the best way to do so, goldfinches love it!
Right now is a good time to offer it. Late July-early August Goldfinches are using a lot of energy nesting and taking care of new babies.
Nyjer is a high oil content seed, making it an excellent energy source for active birds such as goldfinches, house finches, purple finches and pine siskins.
Pro tip: the Nyjer needs to be fresh!!
Nyjer has a thin shell and is vulnerable to spoilage while in the tube. Once seed starts to dry out and become stale, finches will turn up their beak for fresher forage.
Wild Birds Unlimited has the freshest seed on the market! Stop by today and pick up a bag of Nyjer to attract goldfinches to your yard!

Thank you Tree First for your presentation on tree conservation!
Often we cut down old trees because we fear they will fall and cause damage. There are other solutions than chopping down trees, this should be a last resort.
Nature is constantly evolving. Aged trees are excellent for habitats as long as there are no risks of it falling on a house.
If the crown of a tree is dead, take off the dead parts and leave the rest for habitat retention. We do not have to remove a tree, they can be managed by removing all the dead parts and leaving the rest for habitats.
We need to think of other ways to implement habitats beyond just trees.

🪺Put up bird houses to help our pollinators and birds.
Many living creatures depend on trees for survival. Let’s try and preserve them for as long as we can!

Do squirrels eat up all of your seed before the birds get a chance? 😡
Try one of our squirrel proof feeders! 🐿️
Our Eliminator squirrel proof feeder allows birds to eat, but shuts the door on uninvited squirrel guests!
Keep birds at your feeder for longer than a second with seed cylinders!
The cylinders “hold” the food so the birds have to work a littler harder to get it. Which is great for those of us who always wish the birds would stay a little longer for us to enjoy!
‼️All seed cylinders are 15% off now thru 7/15‼️ #backyardbirds #michiganbirding #birdfeeder
We always learn so much when Bees In The D is in our store! Thanks to all who came to the butterfly presentation 🦋
It’s always important to keep your bird feeders clean, but especially during these hot, humid summer months to prevent the growth of bacteria and spreading of diseases to birds.
How do birds help in pollination?
Birds help fertilize plants the same way as any other pollinator, by transferring pollen from one flower to another as they flit between plants feeding on nectar. Their assistance in the pollination process helps ensure that we humans have enough food to eat.
⚠️But more pollinating insects, birds, and other animals are disappearing today than ever before!
Pollution, pesticides, pathogens, and changes in land use have all been associated with shrinking and shifting pollinator populations, particularly insect pollinators.
It’s important that we do our part to plant pollinator gardens, not use pesticides, and add bird feeders to our yards.
