Click on the links to the left for tips on attracting various backyard friends.

Don't forget to stop in and see us. We carry detailed information on feeding, and attracting, specific birds, and critters that you especially love.

Overheard

"If you fill it, they will come!!"         
"Want more birds? Put out more feeders!!"                                 
"Why buy from a computer when you can buy from birders?!" (Okay, I said that one!)

Observations

For your reference, our house is in 08804, on  "Weather Mtn." On Yahoo maps it says "Swinesville" (yikes!). The juncos arrived at our house around Nov. 1.                                              On Nov 28 we saw Purple Finches and Goldfinches on our two Nyjer feeders.

Birds stick around until you stop feeding them, then they head out lookin for food.
Birds don't forget how to look for food ... no matter what you hear.

I also hear folks say you shouldn't feed seagulls, or geese, or turkeys, and so on. It's NOT cause they will get 'domesticated'!   Their behavior has been 'burned in' over millions of years!  How are they gonna forget how to spot food? :-/
The thing we should NOT be doing is spewing TRASH everywhere so they eat THAT by mistake!  :-(

This is important!

When you apply pesticides to your yard, they eventually seeps into the ground. When it rains the rainwater carries that pesticide further down into the water table. The water table is what EVERY water well taps into for drinking water, for me, you, and every man, woman and child in our state!

I have a better idea for getting rid of bugs ... attract birds to your yard, and give bats a place to hide during the day. You already have em flying around your house at night, eating thousands of mosquitoes, free of charge!  Give em a house!  I'll put it in for ya!  Call me! :-)

... AGAIN ... we stock everything you need (except water!), whether you're just getting started or, you're a long-time birdwatcher!
