Sometimes the squirrels 🐿️ in your yard seem to be going crazy. 🥜 Every time you look out the window, squirrels fight, chase each other and jump from tree to tree. Contrary to appearances, gray squirrels are solitary creatures! Each has its own territory of up to a few acres where it spends time searching for food and loafing in trees. What's going on? It's squirrel mating season and everything in squirrel society is in an uproar. Watch for their antics! If their antics include your bird feeders 😆 come by the store for multiple solutions!

Winter treat alert! 🐦❄️ Did you know almost 96% of North America's bird species* eat insects? With this chilly weather, insect-eating birds are LOVING our mealworms... a natural, protein-packed snack for your bird friends.

From bluebirds and chickadees to wrens and woodpeckers, mealworms bring more birds to your yard! 🐦✨ Cold days make bugs harder to find, so offering mealworms is a fun way to help birds thrive. 🐛💛

🪶 Help Birds Thrive This Winter with These Simple Tips! ❄️

🌅 Start Their Day Right
Cold winter mornings are tough on birds! Put food out early so they can refuel after using their energy reserves to stay warm overnight.

🌻 Offer Energy-Rich Foods
Give birds a boost with high-energy foods like peanuts, sunflower chips, suet or our Winter SuperBlend. These quick energy sources are key to their survival in cold weather.

🌇 Evening Refills Matter
Refill feeders before sunset to give birds an extra energy boost to make it through long, chilly nights.

💧 Provide Essential Water
A heated bird bath can be a lifesaver during cold temperatures, offering a vital source of fresh water.

🏠 Create Cozy Shelters
Protect birds from harsh winds by building a simple stick pile, adding roosting boxes or leaving birdhouses up for extra cover.

🍽️ Add a Tray Feeder
Not all birds love traditional feeders—tray feeders can attract ground-feeding species and make your yard more inviting.

With these tips, your backyard can become a winter refuge for birds! ✨

If you've noticed lots of blackbirds taking over your feeders, they are likely European Starlings. Here are 3 ways to reclaim your feeders:

1️⃣ Exclude 🙅 Them: Use caged feeders to keep out starlings and squirrels, while allowing smaller birds to feed with ease.

2️⃣ Slow 🐌 Them Down: An Upside Down Suet Feeder forces starlings to hang upside down to eat—a challenge they struggle with! Woodpeckers and other birds handle it effortlessly, giving them the advantage.

3️⃣ Offer Foods They 🚫 Avoid:
Safflower Seed: High appeal to many birds, low appeal to starlings and squirrels.
Simply Suet: Pure suet without extras is rarely touched by starlings but loved by woodpeckers and many other birds.
In-Shell Peanuts: Too tough for starlings, perfect for jays and woodpeckers.

Come by the store to talk with us about blackbird solutions! 👀 🗨️

Keep your bird baths full this winter! Birds need a reliable source for water - even in the winter. It can be difficult for birds to find water in winter, they may have to travel a long way to an open source. And that's an opportunity for you to invite more birds to your backyard! 💦 💙 🙌

This cardinal knows... birds need drinking water to maintain a healthy metabolism to stay warm and hydrated. And, they need it for bathing to keep their feathers in top insulating condition and keep them waterproof.🪶 🎩

During freezing weather, use a heated bird bath or bird bath de-icer added to plastic, metal or stone bird baths to ensure that birds have a reliable, open water source of water. ⛲
