April 4, 2020 By FBN

As a life-long bird watcher and owner of two backyard wild bird stores, I have come to the conclusion that there are two kinds of birders: casual, backyard birders and serious, “get-out-into-the-field” birders. For most people, their interest in birds starts gradually and develops over a long period of time. Maybe their interest in birds was initially influenced by either their parents, or perhaps their grandparents, who had birdfeeders in their yard.  Interestingly, those who fit into this … [Read more...] about Becoming a Bird Watcher

Helping Wintering Birds Stay Fed, Clean and Warm

January 8, 2020 By FBN

Have you ever found yourself on a cold winter’s day looking out the window at the wild birds in your yard and wondering how they stay alive? Maybe you’ve asked yourself questions such as, “How do they survive sub-freezing temperatures?” Or, “How do they find enough food each day to maintain their metabolism?” While many bird species migrate to warmer climates in the fall, there are perhaps just as many that stick around. As you sit in your warm, thermostatically controlled house, you might … [Read more...] about Helping Wintering Birds Stay Fed, Clean and Warm
