There is no Urban Nature Store location inside Whitby or Ajax itself, but two Urban Nature Store locations flank the area closely enough to serve both towns directly, and online ordering with home delivery reaches Whitby and Ajax addresses as well.
Which Urban Nature Store location is closest to Ajax?
The Pickering location, at 609 Kingston Rd, Pickering, ON L1V 3N7, sits at the southwest corner of Whites Road and Kingston Road, just west of the Ajax town line. The store specializes in birding essentials, offering feeders and bird seed bagged fresh in-store in quantities up to 50 pounds, alongside optics from Nikon, Vortex, and Zeiss. It is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and can be reached at 905-231-0459.
Which Urban Nature Store location is closest to Whitby?
The Oshawa location, at 370 Taunton Rd E, Oshawa, ON L1K 1A8, sits just east of Ritson Road on the north side of Taunton, directly across the Whitby town line to the east. Staff there provide guidance on local Durham Region birding spots such as Centennial, Hyde Park, and Cedar Valley Conservation Area, in addition to stocking feeders and seed for backyard use. Hours match the Pickering location, running Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the store reachable at 905-674-6168.
Can bird seed be bought in bulk near Whitby or Ajax?
Bulk bird seed can be picked up at either the Pickering or Oshawa location, since both carry seed bagged in-store up to 50 pounds rather than only the smaller bags built for shipping. The Sunflower Hearts: No-Mess, No-Waste Birdseed scales from a 4-pound home delivery bag up to a 50-pound store pickup bag priced at $112.95, and the No Shell Peanuts blend follows the same pattern, topping out at a 50-pound pickup bag for $83.95. Both are packaged in Canada, which keeps the larger pickup-only sizes practical for anyone driving in from Whitby or Ajax rather than paying to ship the heaviest bags.
Is home delivery available for Whitby and Ajax addresses?
Home delivery reaches most of Canada, including Whitby and Ajax, with free shipping applied to most Canadian orders over $125. This makes ordering online a practical alternative to a store visit for smaller seed bags and for feeders such as the Brome Squirrel Buster Plus Bird Feeder, a weight-sensitive squirrel-proof feeder backed by a lifetime guarantee on parts and squirrel damage, or the Absolute II Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder, a two-sided steel feeder holding over 12 pounds of seed with adjustable weight settings to exclude larger, unwanted visitors.
