For the LOVE of it!

Ask anyone who feeds bird and they will tell you: “IT’S SOOO MUCH FUN”! Watching the birds come to your feeders, learning to identify them. Listening to their beautiful songs, discovering new birds you’ve never seen before, it’s all amazing.

Insect Control

Birds eat more than just seed, they love insects, worms, spiders and even ticks! When you attract more birds you will reduce unwanted pests, bugs and insects...naturally!. It’s a win-win!

Garden Flower Pollination

Birds help pollinate your flowers causing them to grow bigger and brighter while attracting butterflies and hummingbirds at the same time!

Weed Control

Some birds, like goldfinches for example, are great at eating “weed seeds”. Bottom line, more birds equals less weeds in your lawn and landscaping! Talk about “environmentaly friendly weed control”!

Helps Prevent Loneliness & Depression

Bird watching connects you to the outdoors and to LIFE! Bird lovers will tell you they feel joy at the connection they feel with birds. In many ways it’s very similar to the emotional benefits of traditional pets like dogs and cats, but in a different, more natural and organic way. Birds stay close and loyal to their food source, you will get to know and recognize them, and hours may just slip away as you watch them in their own elements.

Kids Love Birds and it is a Natural Way To Get Them Engaged and Learning!

Showing them different types of birds can teach your children or grandchildren compassion for animals, and the values of empathy, love and caring.

Not to mention hours of activity and fun! You can order books (for children) about how to recognise birds and play the naming game, identifying each bird that comes to visit and peck at your bird feeder. Take photos of each regular feathery visitor, print out each bird, give them names and start a "tree-family." Watch the family grow bigger and happier.
