Goldfinches have changed to their dull winter plumage, and pine siskins and purple finches are already appearing at feeders. Evening grosbeaks are in the area and a few have also found feeders already! The grosbeaks prefer sunflower-filled tray feeders, but will also use feeders with larger perches or trays attached. Keep sunflower and finch food available as part of your seed offering this season. Our Premium Cardinal Finch Mix is also perfect for attracting these wintering birds and more. Juncos and tree sparrows will also enjoy white millet scattered on the ground or in a low tray feeder.

We carry the best feeders for all types of seed. Our Aspects tube feeders have optional trays and weather guards and a lifetime guarantee. Lifetime care comes with Squirrel Buster Feeders, simply the best at deterring squirrels. We have spare parts for both lines and will service them here at the store.

Seed cylinders are a good option if traveling away over the holidays. They take longer for birds to get through than loose seed. Suet is a great souce of energy for birds, especially in the winter and we have a variety of suet feeders and suet cakes to attract more birds.

We have easy to install poles with 1-4 arms to hang a variety of feeders. A baffle on the pole is your best defense against squirrels. Be sure to get your poles in the ground before it freezes.

With temperatures dropping, now is the time to get out the heated bird baths or bird bath heaters. If you don’t have one, we have a variety of energy efficient heated bird baths and de-icers. Providing open water when other sources are frozen will help birds survive the winter.

Providing shelter also helps the birds. They will use bird houses to roost at night and during inclement weather. We also have a variety of roosting boxes with low entry holes to trap the warmer air, and perches inside to allow birds to huddle together. We also have low-cost grass woven roosting pockets to protect birds in the cold.
