Get Ready for a Fun-filled Season in Your Backyard

You made it through winter and as a reward, the next few months will bring some of nature’s most spectacular gifts.

Spring migration brings a show with an ever-changing cast of characters passing through your yard, including hummingbirds, orioles and warblers. Next comes nesting season, a time to watch for bird parents bringing their noisy fledglings to your feeders. And it's fun to watch the adults, busy in your backyard habitat, as they glean pollinating insects to feed their ever-impatient youngsters.

Help Your Birds Deal With Their Own March Madness
While you are busy watching basketball games, in your backyard, birds are seeking food and a place to rear their young.

In early March, birds' natural food supply is at its lowest point of the year. Insect populations are still low (thankfully), and there are few remaining edible wild fruits and berries.

The weather is unpredictable as sunny, warm, spring-like days can quickly change into cold, damp conditions that challenge birds' survival skills.

Added challenges are that your backyard birds are starting to look for homes, build nests, and lay eggs.

High-energy foods, such as peanuts and suet, are loaded with fat and protein, and they're wonderful substitutes for the insects many birds would eat if they could find them.
And speaking of insects, have you offered mealworms to your birds? Numerous birds eat protein-rich mealworms, which are lifesavers when temperatures begin to slide.
It is time to start using our Superfood seed products to add calcium for egg laying and fruits and nuts your birds thrive on.

Hopefully you have already cleaned out last year's birdhouses, but may have found that some need to be replaced or you may want to add to your housing collection.

Come see us today and we can help you prepare your yard for for nesting and help your birds deal with their March Madness!
