'Tis the (Bird) Season
Well, the holiday season is upon us.
The birds don't know this and they don't care. While we're celebrating the season inside our warm, snug homes, being all holly and jolly, our bird friends outside struggle to survive the life-threatening challenges of winter.
It's hard not to feel compelled to do something just a little extra to make their holiday season special too.
That's why we mix up a batch of our special Christmas Seed Blend. It's a premium seed blend with high-energy sunflower seed, suet nuggets, peanuts, almonds and cranberries that provides a nutritious holiday meal for a wide variety of birds in your yard.
Here's another Christmas gift that your birds will love - WBU suet cakes. This high-fat, quick energy snack provides birds with the calories they need to stay warm through a cold winter's night.
And what do you get the bird that has everything? Try water. An easy-to-find source of drinking water
is important, and some birds still bathe to keep their feathers clean for maximum insulation.
Be sure to add some suet pellets, suet snacks, or suet balls to entice your birds even more. The increased protein levels will help them survive the cold nights.
Stop by the store for help with your holiday shopping. We have an assortment of beautifully pre-wrapped gifts and products that will make this season special for you and your birds.
