Refresh Your Yard and Enjoy Summer Birds

For birds, summer is no vacation! They're trying to care for offspring while surviving heat and sustaining themselves. It's the reason the number of visitors at your feeders can fluctuate.

Summer is the perfect time to evaluate your yard and prepare it for fall, when there can be even more bird activity. Adding a feeding station or water feature might be just what your space needs to become the yard, especially as we approach fall migration when many birds pass through the area.

An additional bird feeding station can range from simple to complex. From squirrel baffles to decorative branches that provide birds a place to perch, our patented, exclusive Advanced Pole System® (APS) is easily customizable for your yard and the birds you want to attract.

If you don't have a reliable water source, be sure to add one. Water, whether it's a bird bath, a small pool or a shallow dish, gives birds a place to drink and clean their feathers. In some cases, water can be more attractive to birds than food.

Whatever you do to your yard, the key is to relax and enjoy it. Visit us soon to learn how you can make the most of your yard this summer.

Goldfinches are the last to finish nesting. Give them a helping hand!

Nyjer® is a high oil content seed, making it an excellent energy source for active birds such as goldfinches, house finches, purple finches and pine siskins. It is important to keep the food fresh for these picky little eaters. Nyjer has a thin shell and is vulnerable to spoilage while in the tube. Once seed starts to dry out and become stale, finches will turn up their beak for fresher forage.
