Trade In any Old Bird Feeder & Save 20% on a New One
 |
Would you rather not clean that old feeder for Spring? If so, it’s time for an upgrade. During our Spring Feeder Swap, bring in your old, weather-worn feeder and trade up for something fresh that will be clean and that will keep your birdseed fresh. Any feeders we can repair will be donated to local schools, nursing homes and nature centers. |
April Showers Bring … Hungry Spring Migrants
Dear Friend of Nature,
Hummingbirds are some of the most beloved and sought after birds we can attract to our yards. You can benefit from having multiple humming-bird feeders to make the experience even more enjoyable. Here are the top five suggestions.
Confound Bully Hummingbirds
Spread nectar feeders out across a yard so it is more difficult for one bird to defend all of them, or, if there are many hummingbirds trying to feed at one time, place a few feeders close together so it is just too difficult for one bird to defend all.
Claim to Fame
Because of their unique flexible wing joint that flaps in a figure eight, hummingbirds can easily hover for drinking nectar and are the only birds able to fly backwards and upside-down.
Simply Sweet
Nectar is simple to make for hummingbirds. Use a 4:1 ratio of 4 parts water to 1 part plain table sugar. (No need for dyes or other sugar options.) Please first boil the water separately to dissolve the sugar, then let it cool. Store extra in the refrigerator. Tip: Keep a second backup feeder ready to replace those you are cleaning. Ask us about the nectar we carry which dissolves quickly in water.
Beyond Nectar
Hummingbirds eat insects (especially small fly-ing insects) and insect eggs (especially from spiders). They use their bill to catch them. Who knew?!
Traveling Birds
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are already on the move. They will start arriving here in late April and early May.

Baltimore Orioles Return Late April
One of North America’s most popular fruit-eating birds is the oriole and we can help you attract them to your yard if they are in your area.
Orioles are known to enjoy orange slices, grape jelly and mealworms offered from tray-style feeders. Nectar feeders can also be used. Dissolve ¼ cup of table sugar in 1 cup of warm or hot water; cool and fill the feeder. Be patient and keep the foods fresh, replacing them every few days and be sure to keep your feeders clean, too.
Oriole Fun Facts
- When not feeding on nectar, orioles seek out caterpillars, fruits, insects, and spiders.
- The Oriole nest is an engineering masterpiece. They weave a hanging-basket nest with plant fibers, grasses, vine and tree bark and sometimes string or yarn placed out on the small twigs of a branch 6-45 feet in the air. This keeps them safe from most predators.
- The Baltimore Oriole is a common inhabitant of suburban landscapes due to is preference for open settings that are bordered with mature trees.
- Orioles are a member of Icteridae family, meaning that their closest bird relatives include meadowlarks, blackbirds, bobolinks and grackles.
- The oriole gets its name from the Latin aureolus, which means golden.
