Help Birds Thrive this Season

Summer is the busiest season for birds, making it the perfect time to keep your feeders well-stocked. Research shows that providing a reliable source of high-protein, high-fat and calcium-rich foods can boost nesting success - even for late-season nesters like bluebirds, goldfinches, cardinals and robins.

A diet low in proteins and fats may cause feathers to appear dull or to form defectively such as being frayed or curved. If feathers are duller, birds may have trouble attracting a mate. If the feathers are defective, it could seriously hinder their ability to fly or stay insulated.

Summertime also brings dazzling hummingbirds, vibrant orioles, brilliant goldfinches and the entertaining antics of baby birds figuring out how to feed from feeders.

Keep your feeders full of our exclusive foods like Nesting SuperBlend® and SuperSuet®. Specially formulated to provide essential nutrients during nesting and molting season, these foods provide the ultimate upgrade for birds—and a front-row seat for you to witness their daily wonders.

Shop now and make your yard a place where birds can thrive.

 

 

Lots of Food = Lots of Birds

In this corner: the returning champion of bird food, reliable and always filling. 

In the other corner: the challengers, unique and interesting foods, such as Jim's Birdacious® Bark Butter®, mealworms, seed cylinders and suet, that will help you attract more birds to your backyard.

Created by Jim Carpenter, founder of Wild Birds Unlimited, Bark Butter is a spreadable suet that can be easily smeared on tree bark or a Bark Butter Feeder. It has attracted more than 140 different bird species.

Mealworms are a high-protein favorite of birds such as bluebirds, wrens, robins, chickadees and mockingbirds. Because mealworms can potentially crawl out of feeders, it's important to offer them in feeders with smooth sides like our Advanced Pole System® SideDish™.

Seed Cylinders add more flavor to your yard. We carry an assortment, including No-Mess, Hot Pepper, Woodpecker, Deluxe, Supreme, Nutty for Nuts®, Cranberry and Bug, Nut & Berry. They make feeding your birds easy.

Suet is a high-energy, pure fat substance that entices a multitude of birds, including insect-eaters.

Stop by and let us know what kind of birds you want at your feeders. No one has a better selection of bird food than Wild Birds Unlimited. And whether you're looking for a champ or a challenger, we’ll make sure you have the food and feeders you need to make your backyard reign supreme.
