There is a bird perched on her power wheelchair arm. The other woman is white with pale purple hair, wearing a green outfit and a pink bandana, and stands next to the woman using a wheelchair, holding binoculars. Both women are smiling, and they appear to be enjoying the birding experience. On the right side of the image, there is the message:

Spicy foods aren't for everyone, including the critters that seem to empty your bird feeders. In fact, people, rodents and other mammals feel the burn when eating peppers. Birds do not.
That's a great tidbit of information to know when creating foods that can satisfy birds but deter animals, such as squirrels and raccoons.
We are proud to offer the widest variety of hot pepper bird foods on the market. Shop now and see how our hot pepper foods can help you regain control of your backyard.

Hold on birdies! I'll be right back! 🐎💨
Do not disturb. (until 'treats time!) Happy Friday! Love, Callie
🍁 Fall is the perfect time to prepare your yard to attract a variety of beautiful birds! Here’s how you can help them out and enjoy bird-watching all season long! 🍁
You may have noticed, sharing isn’t something that comes naturally to some birds. 😳
Mockingbirds, jays, and blackbirds are notorious for taking over a feeder. One solution is feeding safflower! Many of the birds mentioned above do not care for safflower, while most other birds love this nutritious white seed!
We're not saying a new bird feeder makes EVERYTHING better but it always seems to help us. 🤪
Go ahead and indulge in your seasonal pumpkin spice latte, BUT for your daily cup of joe, we highly recommend considering bird-friendly coffee! ☕
New Permanent Store Hours
After a successful test over the summer, we've decided to make the summer hours our permanent store hours.
Wild Birds Unlimited is committed to providing you with an excellent customer experience delivered by the most friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged staff. Our store hours help us achieve that goal.
Thank you for your support of our business! See you soon!
Here's Callie doing the sniff test on a recent shipment of catnip. Approved! 🐾🐾🐾 Happy Friday!
Have you ever noticed how woodpeckers will cling to your pole system before darting up to the feeder? We love watching that! Sometimes it seems they’re scoping out their options before deciding which feeder is best to eat from!

😂 It's always disappointing when the feeders are empty, but that typically doesn't last too long!
🍂 Fall migration is underway and billions of birds are migrating through North America, mostly under the cover of darkness. 🌙✨ Unfortunately, they face an increasing threat: unnatural, man-made light that attracts, disorients, and makes birds vulnerable to collisions with buildings. 🏙️💡
The solution is as simple as flipping the switch. 🔄 Turning off lights dramatically reduces hazards and allows birds to safely proceed with their migratory journeys. For more tips, visit: https://www.wbu.com/lights-out/
