Three Locations To Better Serve You!
We Are Having A Bird Food SALE!
We would like to invite all of you to stop by the
stores this month and discover how you can
make your yard the yard of choice for the
birds during these cold winter months.
You have your favorite birds and birds have
their favorite yards. Your yard can be the yard
of choice for beautiful songbirds if you offer
different foods in a variety of feeders. By
varying food choices, feeder types, height
above the ground and location, every bird will
find the feeding station that is just right for
them.
Seed blends attract the greatest variety of
birds. We formulate our blends specifically for
the backyard birds in Northern Ohio. We
suggest that you offer WBU Supreme Blend in
a tube feeder, WBU Deluxe Blend in a hopper
style feeder and our WBU WIldlife Blend or
Select Blend in ground-level platform feeders.
Our WBU No Mess formula (formerly known as
Naturally Neat) can be used in most feeders,
attracts just about every seed-eating bird, and
because it has no shells, it leaves no mess on
the ground below. This is a wonderful blend if
you feed on a balcony or patio or just prefer
to have no shells left behind.
Our WBU Choice Plus Blend is designed to
provide the high calorie fats and proteins that
our birds need this time of year. This blend
has seed, fruit, nuts and even the Bark Butter
Bits that birds love.
If you have favorite birds that you would like to
attract, please let us know. We will help you
design a custom feeding strategy that will
help your yard be the yard of choice in your
neighborhood.
Stop by and see us during our winter bird
food sale, and remember, as always, our free
seed storage program is available to make
feeding your birds even easier for you.

Meeting Birds’ Winter Needs
As the temperature dips, your birds’ needs
change. With some thought and care, you
can meet birds’ nutritional needs as well as
attract some beautiful visitors.
Food
For winter, birds will change the kinds of
foods they eat. Instead of insects and fruits
(which are harder to find), birds eat more
seeds and nuts. Often, the food birds eat in
the day help build up fat reserves that are
used through the night to keep warm.
Attract Birds with Fatty
Foods like Suet
Offer suet products, Jim’s Birdacious Bark
Butter, freeze dried meal worms, Bird Food
Cylinders and blends with nuts to help birds
maintain their high metabolic rate and stay
warm.
Feeder Location
During harsh weather, birds favor feeders
protected from the weather. Place your
feeders near cover, such as evergreen
bushes or trees, densely branched shrubs,
brush piles or hollow logs, so birds can duck
into it to get out of weather or escape from
predators. You can even create a lower wind
break to help your ground-feeding birds.
Place Your Feeders
Near Cover to Help Birds
Water Helps Birds
Maintain Their Feathers
Water
Birds need water to maintain their
metabolism and their feathers for effective
insulation. Besides helping birds properly
digest food, water helps birds keep their
feathers clean and in top condition. Research
has shown that a chickadee with
well-maintained feathers can sustain a 70° F
(21° C) layer of insulation between the
outside air and its skin.
Use a heated bird bath or add a heater to
your existing plastic, metal or stone bird
bath. This will help make some water
available even on the coldest day and attract
birds that may not visit feeders very often.

What is The Great Backyard Bird Count?
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual 4-day
event that engages bird watchers of all ages in
counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of
where the birds are.
Why count birds?
Scientists use the GBBC information, along with
observations from other citizen-science
projects, such as the Christmas Bird Count,
Project FeederWatch, and eBird, to get the “big
picture” about what is happening to bird
populations. The longer this data is collected,
the more meaningful it becomes in helping
scientists investigate far-reaching questions, like
these:
*How will the weather influence bird populations?
*Where are winter finches and other “irruptive”
species that appear in large numbers during
some years but not others?
*How will the timing of birds migrations compare
with past years?
*How are bird diseases, such as West Nile virus,
affecting birds in different regions?
*What kinds of differences in bird diversity are
apparent in cities versus a suburban, rural, and
natural areas?
Please join us for the 17th
annual count!
The 2014 GBBC will be
February 14, through
February 17.
