This fall, put down the rake.

🍂 Leaves, pine needles, and garden debris aren't just yard waste, they're critical habitat for butterflies, bumble bees, birds, frogs, and more. Letting them lie this season is one of the easiest things you can do for local wildlife. 🦋 🐸

We're proud to support the National Wildlife Federation® Leave the Leaves Month. Join the movement and share this with your community. The more yards that join the movement, the bigger the difference we make together.

Now through October 31, 2026, NWF is offering Wild Birds Unlimited customers 10% OFF Certified Wildlife Habitat®️ certifications with promo code WBU10. Join here: https://bit.ly/3z0KG0n

Many backyard birds are clever food hiders, or “cachers,” storing seeds, nuts and even insects in tree crevices, under bark or in the ground to eat later! 🌳🥜 These smart birds use landmarks, the sun and even each other to keep track of their stashes, helping them survive tough winters and busy seasons. ❄️☀️ Watching them work is like seeing a tiny treasure hunt happen in your backyard! 🔍✨
