Wild Birds Unlimited, Buckingham

Now that the snowbirds have returned to Canada to find respite from the heat, what we have around us are year-round residents like Blue Jays and Cardinals, and summer residents like Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Indigo Buntings, and a number of other birds that are potential visitors to your feeders.  

We are often asked at the store, “Should I stop feeding birds in the summer?”  Our usual response is, “Do you like seeing birds at your feeder?” If the answer is yes, then while some birds might be less active or busy catering to juvenile birds, you can still yield the rewards by keeping seeds in your summer feeders all summer long!

It's also important to provide a source of water, and our variety of bird baths are the perfect way to do so!  Keep it in an area of part sun and add one of our copper purification disks to slow algae growth.  If possible, have it near an accessible hose for easy cleaning and refilling.  Birds will drink from it and enjoy splashing around when taking a bath as well.  

And of course, summer is best for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds - we have a wide variety of nectar feeders available.
