It’s time for our annual Christmas wish list for the birds. If you would like to give a gift to your feathered friends… or squirrels, here are some ideas for you!
Blue Jays - Peanut ring and a bag of whole peanuts.
Cardinals - Sky Cafe with a serving of safflower.
Chickadees - Droll Yankees Seed Saver Feeder and sunflower hearts mixed with peanut halves.
Juncos and American Tree Sparrows - Animal House Creation’s Handmade Ground Feeder. Add a variety of seeds like Fiesta. House sparrows will like this too.
Mourning Doves - Woodlink’s Going Green Fly-Through Feeder with a main course of Red Carpet Mix.
White and Red-Breasted Nuthatches - Brome’s Squirrel Proof Suet Feeder with an assortment of Mill Creek suet. Insect and Nut is a favourite!
Hairy, Downy, and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers - Brome Bird Care’s Squirrel-Proof Nut Feeder with a bag of peanut halves.
A heated bird bath and a roosting box would help all birds in the winter months!
Squirrels - Bushy Tail Cake with a feeder to fit, plus a bag of our squirrel mix. I’m sure they will help themselves to the ground feeder and drink from the heated bird bath too!
Happy Holidays from all of us at Urban Nature Store!
