Dear Friend of Nature,

October is a month of transitions. While some birds are migrating, our resident birds are caching seeds and insects and getting ready for whatever the winter months bring us. For both migrating and our resident birds, body fat is the primary energy supply that fuels a bird throughout migration and during winter. Bird feeding has come a long way since its primitive beginning in the late 1800s. In those days, bird feeding enthusiasts could only offer some waste grains swept up from a hayloft, bits of suet or pork fat nailed to a tree or maybe a few table crumbs placed on a tree stump.

Today, thanks to decades of observation and research, the menu available to your backyard birds is the most diverse, highest quality ever offered. The bird food we offer is a broad selection of foods developed specifically to attract a wider variety of birds to your feeders and provide the most beneficial foods to meet a birds’ nutritional needs.
During winter a bird can use up to 75% of its fat reserves overnight. It’s not too hard to understand why we put all bird food on sale in October. We want to help you make the best choices to offer your backyard birds. High-energy, high fat foods are full of fat and calories to help provide birds with seasonally essential energy. We have suet, peanuts, mealworms, and Bark Butter products in-stock always.

Plus, If you haven’t discovered them already, you can add HOT PEPPER FOODS to your bird’s menu list. Many folks have complained over the years that squirrels, chipmunks and raccoons have discovered how good our bird seed is. Fortunately, there is an easy solution. Because birds do not feel the burn when eating peppers, hot pepper foods can satisfy birds and deter animals at the same time, making hot pepper foods a must when critters are an issue.

We are proud to offer the widest variety of hot pepper bird foods on the market, including Hot Pepper Seed, Suet, Cylinders, Bark Butter products and more.

We think the old 1971 Alka Seltzer slogan applies here:
“Try It, You’ll Like It.” Or rather,
Your Birds Will Like It –
and the critters won’t.

In addition to our Bird Food sale, our APS Pole System, our EcoTough^® & EcoClean^® Feeders are On Sale.
