Keep the birds fed and the squirrels guessing!

The Squirrel Buster feeder uses a clever weight-sensitive design that automatically closes access to seed when squirrels climb on, helping ensure more food stays available for your feathered visitors.

✅ Durable construction
✅ Weather resistant
✅ Easy to clean

A favourite among backyard bird enthusiasts for a reason.

Migration season is just around the corner, and many birds will soon be passing through our backyards on their journey south.

One of the biggest threats to migrating birds is window collisions. Feather Friendly Window Collision Tape helps make glass more visible to birds, reducing the risk of accidental strikes while maintaining your view.

Stop by The Preferred Perch to learn more about creating a safer space for your feathered visitors this fall.

I was outside filling feeders when I heard a ruckus only to see a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers very close by waiting to come in to eat. I didn’t even get to push the suet cake in all the way as I backed away to let them eat. Here we have a very disheveled, moulting Dad feeding his fledgling daughter. I wasn’t at the best angle but still what a cool sight to see! Such fascinating birds🐦‍⬛🌻🪶

Bird activity is still strong in August!

Keep your feeders filled and your binoculars close. It’s a great time to watch for goldfinches, hummingbirds, and other late summer visitors.
