Frequently asked questions

What kind of birds do you sell?

Actually, we don’t sell birds at all! We sell wild bird seed, suet, & nectar for the wild birds in your yard. We also have a selection of bird feeders, nest boxes, pole systems, garden decor and gift items!

What can I do to keep squirrels away from my bird feeders?

We have several options you can try to deter squirrels - from different types of feeders to specialty seed. We carry multiple squirrel resistant feeders, as well as Spicy Chips, Flaming Hot cylinders, seed bells & seed cakes. In addition, we have multiple types of baffles that you can add to your pole system or feeder. Lastly, we sell Cole’s Flaming Hot Sauce that can be added to any seed mixture.

Do you ever have sales or discounts?

Yes we do! We have seed sales twice a year, as well as seasonal sales and holiday discounts. We also have a paid annual Seed Saver Club!

What is the Seed Saver Club?

The Seed Saver Club is an annual paid membership. If you’re a member, you get 10% off all feed items for 12 months, and receive a $10 off coupon after you spend $150. When we have our seed sales, you’re eligible for an extra 5% off! The cost of the membership is $25, unless you sign up during one of our seed sales, then it’s only $20! To join, ask an employee!

What is the difference between your seed and the stuff that can be bought at big box stores?

We get seed deliveries twice a week from local suppliers. Most big box stores have huge warehouses where seed can sit for quite awhile before it makes it to the floor and eventually to your home. In addition to that, we don’t use filler in any of our seed mixes. You won’t find any red milo/millet in our bird seed mixes. All of the black oil sunflower is a premium blend that will not have a lot of sticks and clumps of dirt.

Do you sell thistle for the finches?

No. Thistle is a plant that grows in North America that finches tend to favor. It is also good for most pollinators. The small, black seed we sell is called Nyjer and it is imported into the United States. It has 30-40% oil content, similar to black oil seeds. It is also heat treated before being sold to sterilize the seed and kill any potential noxious weeds.
