It's been said "The wilderness holds all truth and wisdom." Observing and appreciating the wildlife in your own environment is a good way to begin understanding what all nature has to share. Feeding the birds, providing water, and putting up nesting boxes helps them and gives back a wonderful sense of joy, wonder and inspiration.  Our commitment to top quality seed will make a difference to your birds. Our friendly service and top quality products will make a difference to you. Let us help you connect with the birds and other aspects of nature already calling you in your own yard




Our website is in the process of a makeover. New content additions are ongoing.

Bird of the Week 2/20/12

The Eastern Towhee's song is often heard more than the bird is seen. This is symbolic of Towhee totem and the way it balances being silent and subdued with knowing when to be forthright and bold. Towhee has a lot to teach about staying grounded in order to manage all energies.

Is a bird the right pet for you? (never mind what's right for the bird)
