More food for the birds. Less mess under the feeder.

No-Mess DP is packed with foods birds can actually eat, without the shells and hulls that can pile up beneath your feeders.

It’s also one of our featured foods this month and a great option as fall activity picks up around the backyard.

And yes, it’s included in our Bird Food Sale happening now through October 25.

Some birds are already planning ahead.

Jays, chickadees and nuthatches will take food and hide it in different locations to eat later. This behavior is called caching.

A seed might be tucked into tree bark, hidden beneath leaves, or carried away to another part of the yard.

So the next time you see a bird grab a peanut and immediately fly away, it might not be eating it right away.

It could be stocking its own pantry.

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! 🔍✨

Grab a peanut. Fly away. Hide it. Repeat.

Jays, chickadees and nuthatches are known for caching food, storing it in different locations so they can return to it later.

You might see food tucked into tree bark, beneath leaves, or carried completely out of sight.

Sunflower, millet, peanuts, suet, cylinders, blends and more.

Different birds have different favorites, which means there is no one perfect food for every backyard.

During our Bird Food Sale, it’s a great time to stock up on your usual favorites or ask us about something new.

Not sure what to serve? Tell us which birds you want to attract and we can help you find a food that fits.

Fall is a busy time at the feeders.

Some birds are passing through during migration, others are settling in for the season, and your backyard regulars are preparing for the cooler months ahead.

Keeping a reliable food source available can make your yard a welcome stop along the way.

What birds are keeping your feeders busy right now?

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

Your backyard assignment for September:

Look a little closer.

Migration season can bring new faces, quick stopovers and birds you may only see for a short window.

Spend 10 minutes outside this week and see how many different species you can spot or hear.

Then come back and tell us your count!

🍂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.
