How about a little fun!

Check out this video of birds at a feeder found on YouTube ! It will make you laugh!!

Relax and Enjoy Nature!

We say, "Let the squirrels entertain you!" How do squirrels entertain you? Don't just give them their ear corn. Make them work for it! Make them spin or bounce for their corn and you will be entertained!

We have many squirrel feeders, but for the best in bouncing entertainment, we recommend the Squngee. This elastic feeder will put your squirrels to the test as they try to leap and grasp for an ear of corn suspended above the ground. Watching them bounce up and down, just like a trapeze artist, for a single kernel of corn will make your family laugh out loud.

Now is the time to get your backyard bird sanctuary ready for spring! Make sure your feeders are all clean and disinfected, clean up any seed shells from the ground and repair any damaged parts or hardware.

It's also time to think about birds nesting. Check all your nest boxes and repair or replace those that have been ravaged by the elements!

Enjoy your backyard refuge!
