Winter Water

 

Winter isn't just cooler for us; it’s a real survival test for birds. With longer nights and colder temperatures, their internal “heaters” (metabolism) have to work overtime. While food is a must, water is just as critical. Birds need water to stay hydrated and to keep their feathers clean, essential for insulation and warmth.

A reliable source of open water can make your yard the go-to winter hangout, even for birds that don't normally visit feeders. If temperatures dip below freezing, you can use a bird bath heater in an existing plastic or stone bird bath, or try a bird bath with a built-in heater.

 

Not Your Average Suet

It's difficult to judge a suet cake's quality just by looking at it. Less expensive cakes, like those found at the grocery or hardware, have a high proportion of grain, which adds little protein.

Our WBU suets are of the highest quality and have a higher amount of suet than lower quality cakes. They also have high-protein ingredients like peanuts, peanut butter, mealworms and tree nuts. Shop our suet selection and give your backyard birds the quality and nutrition they deserve!

 

 

Protect Your Bird Food and Feeders

You spend a good amount on your bird feeding hobby. Protect your food and feeders with some of our fantastic products.

Use baffles on your pole system to stop squirrels from chewing your feeders and eating your bird food. If you want to feed the squirrels use ground feeders and feed a mixture of peanuts and cracked corn. This keeps them happy and off your feeder poles.
Use Feeder Fresh with your seed to prolong it, keep it dry, and keep the seed from molding in the feeders - making it safer for the birds.

If you cannot baffle your feeders we have other solutions like:

• Hot pepper food
• Cages to put your feeders inside
• and of course a full line of Squirrel Buster Feeders
