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

Our wide variety of WBU Seed Cylinders makes feeding birds easy.

Seed cylinders keep birds at the feeder longer, giving you more time to watch and enjoy.

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! 🔍✨

The windows in our homes and offices can be hazardous for birds. Birds cannot readily distinguish the presence of a pane of transparent glass from an unobstructed space or passageway and often fly into window panes causing injury or death. Click here to learn more: www.wbu.com/window-strikes

🍂Fall migration turns your backyard into a potential pit stop for birds on the move, and a few smart tweaks can make it irresistible! 🌿✨

🌻 Leave seed-producing plants standing to provide natural food sources.
🌳 Add a brush pile or two for shelter and protection.
🐦Create low-lying feeding areas where ground-feeding birds feel comfortable.
🧼Clean and repair feeders, and make sure they’re easy to refill during the winter months.
🔄 Keep food fresh and consistent—even in small amounts—so passing birds remember your yard as a reliable stop along their journey.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the First Day of Autumn is Tuesday, September 22. That's when the length of day and night are almost the same. Be sure your feeders are ready for some hungry birds that are either preparing or recharging for the longer nights.

The Blue Jay shown is an example of a North American bird working hard to find the additional calories needed to make it through autumn's longer hours of darkness. Which birds are visiting your backyard this season? Share in the comments.

🌙 Every spring and fall, the night sky becomes a superhighway for billions of migrating birds. They navigate by the stars ⭐, but lights from our homes 🏡 and businesses 🏢 can throw them off course.

The good news is that helping birds can be as easy as flipping a switch! Turning off non-essential lights gives migrating birds a clearer path and helps them stay oriented on their long journeys. Together, we can help make migration safer for our feathered travelers. ❤️🌎✨
