Wild Things!

Everyday is Earth Day at Wild Birds Unlimited.


And a great way to celebrate is in your own backyard! Did you know the average backyard may be visited by 15 to 20 bird species; however a bird-friendly yard can attract 60 or more different species? With Earth being the focus this week, be sure to stop by our store to learn how you can bring a little wildlife into your backyard!

We offer products that are environmentally friendly and support sustainable agriculture such as our recycled milk jug EcoTough birdfeeders that won’t crack, fade or rot, shade-grown coffee products and fair-trade items.

We also believe in conservation education, so we do all we can to encourage children to interact with their natural surroundings. We support the Pathways to Nature Conservation Fund which was established in 1999 and has donated $740,000 to 25 projects that were developed to bring people and nature together.
