What happens when you turn your passion into a business opportunity?

Angie and Matt Hamilton did exactly that by opening a Wild Birds Unlimited in Pensacola in 2024 and bringing their community its first bird-centered nature store. 🦜🦉🦆

Their advice? "Choose a franchise that genuinely aligns with your passions, values, and long-term goals. Owning a business takes dedication and hard work, but it becomes far more rewarding when you truly believe in what you are building."

🌸🐝 This month, we’re celebrating Pollinator Month with our partners at the National Wildlife Federation! It’s a great time to see how your garden can help bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. 🦋🐦 No matter the size of your garden, pollinators are some of the easiest wildlife to support. Just plant native flowers that bloom and enjoy the show! 🌼💚

Wildlife shown represents the diversity of pollinators across North America. Have you done anything to help the pollinators in your yard? Share in the comments.

Birds need protective cover. And landscaping for the ideal wildlife habitat should use native plants ranging in size and density. Click here to learn how you can certify your yard and help : https://www.wbu.com/certify-your-yard

Photographic evidence of the elusive Pileated Woodpecker using our popular EcoTough® Tail Prop Suet Feeder!! Grab yours here: https://order.wbu.com/dover/bird-feeders/suet-feeders/ecotough-tail-prop-suet-feeder

The recent dumping of snow has made the birds forage for food in any way they can. Of course, this means more birds at feeders; some of which we don’t always like to see (such as starlings). They swarm the feeders when the ground freezes over. Robins appear for the same reason, in large droves that remind us spring is right around the corner—48 days to be exact (but who’s counting).

But other times, the snow ushers in some birds we don’t get to see regularly, like bluebirds and pileated woodpeckers!

Cathy’s morning started with a visit from TWO pileated woodpeckers—a male and female. So exciting to see these prehistoric looking birds that can be finicky and irregular guests at our feeders. ☺️

What unusual bird spottings has this winter storm brought you?
