Where Can I Shop Locally for Bird Feeding Supplies and Nature-Inspired Gifts?

You can shop locally for bird feeding supplies and nature-inspired gifts at specialty wild bird and nature stores, which stock both under one roof. In Ontario, Urban Nature Store's ten local stores sell feeders and seed alongside nature gifts such as field guides, wind chimes, singing plush birds and kids' nature kits, and the same range is available online across Canada.

What Kinds of Nature-Inspired Gifts Can You Buy at a Bird Store?

Nature-inspired gifts at Urban Nature Store fall into five main groups, most of them gathered in the gifts and home decor collection:

• Home and garden decor, such as wind chimes in the wind chimes and bells collection and weather-reading pieces for a cottage or porch
• Books and field guides, from folding pocket guides to full illustrated guides to Ontario birds
• Kids' nature toys, including bug viewers, science kits, build-it-yourself habitat kits and binoculars sized for small hands
• Plush and puppet birds, some of which play real birdcalls
• Birding gear, such as feeders, heated bird baths and binoculars, for someone already into the hobby

Urban Nature Store's guides go deeper on specific groups: nature gifts for kids, nature-themed puzzles and books and birding-related gifts.

Which Nature Gifts Fit Different Budgets?

Nature gifts at Urban Nature Store start under $10 and climb from there, so a small stocking stuffer and a larger gift can come from the same shelf. These six examples cover a range of recipients:

The Canadian Weatherstick is a birch twig on a wooden base that bends down before rain and up before fair weather, with no batteries needed. The singing plush birds play each species' call, recorded by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, when squeezed. More ideas at set budgets are in the guides to nature gifts under $30 and nature gifts for a birdwatcher under $50.

What Can You Give Someone Who Already Feeds Birds?

Someone who already feeds birds usually gets more use from an upgrade or a winter extra than from another basic feeder. A heated bird bath such as the Songbird Spa has a built-in 75-watt heater that keeps water from freezing down to -10°F (about -23°C), and a squirrel-proof feeder such as the Squirrel Buster Plus closes its ports when a squirrel climbs on.

For a smaller gift, a regional field guide or a bag of no-mess seed such as Sunflower Hearts suits any feeder the recipient already owns. The guide to birding-related gifts compares optics, feeder, bath and book gifts in more detail.

Can You Buy Bird Supplies and Gifts in One Local Trip?

Yes. All ten Urban Nature Store locations, listed on the store locations page, sell bird feeding supplies, and several store pages describe gift ranges alongside them. The Etobicoke store page lists bird houses, baths and feeders next to wind chimes and weathervanes, the North York store carries kids' brands such as Melissa and Doug and 4M across two floors, and the St. Catharines page names nature-themed gifts alongside its seed and optics.

Online orders can also be picked up at the nearest store, so a gift found on the website can be collected along with a seed refill. Orders shipped anywhere in Canada go free over $125.
