Help the Birds This Nesting Season

Say Hooray for PB'n J

Peanut Butter'n Jelly® Suet mimics the old childhood favorite, but without the sticky after-effects. The peanut butter appeals to birds that like insects and nuts, while the "jelly" (blueberries) attracts fruit-eating birds. Woodpeckers, titmice, chickadees, nuthatches and others enjoy this highenergy food. All of our suet and No-melt doughs are rendered and refined to remove impurities that cause spoilage.

Peanut Butter'n Jelly Suet >> $2.99


Getting Ready for Nesting
Now is a good time to prepare your yard for nesting season. One way to encourage nesting is to keep your yard a little messy. Birds can't find the resources needed for nest building in an immaculate yard. Birds often use string, yarn, feathers, hair clippings and even cat or dog fur. We offer a variety of packaged nesting materials that you can offer your birds. It's exciting to see a completed nest built with the materials you provide.

Marching Down the Road to Spring
Dear Friend of Nature,

March is back, promising winter's demise and acting as though all roads lead to the land of "Spring Abundance."

But before we hop in our convertibles and give a final glance at Old Man Winter in the rearview mirror, remember that a bird's journey to spring is not easy.

Early in the month, birds' natural food supply is at its lowest point of the year. Insects aren't out in force yet, and the few remaining wild fruits and berries are either hidden or undesirable.

Unpredictable weather doesn't make life any easier. Sunny, warm, spring-like days can rapidly give way to the cold, damp and even snowy conditions that can push birds to the brink.

Because of these challenges, you have one of the best opportunities of the year to help the birds in your yard.

Offer your birds lots of high-energy foods such as peanuts and WBU® Suet. Loaded with fat and protein, these are beneficial substitutes for the scarce insects many birds would eat if they could find them.

And speaking of insects, if you haven't offered your birds mealworms, you and your birds are missing out on a real treat. Protein rich mealworms are eaten by numerous species of birds and can be a lifesaver during a sudden cold snap.

Stop by the store soon and let us assist you in selecting the proper foods, feeders and accessories that will help provide your birds with safe passage through the many challenges of March.
