February Newsletter

Love is in the air at Wild Birds Unlimited! Show your birds your admiration for them by stocking up on high fat foods like SuperSuet®, Winter SuperBlend, or Bark Butter® during the cold weather. High fat foods provide essential energy for birds to survive long, cold winter nights.

If you are feeling extra romantic this Valentine's Day, we have a selection of beautiful red bird feeders that pair perfectly with our Cardinal Confetti Blend®! This nutritious blend features sunflower chips, safflower, black oil sunflower, NutraSaff™, Bark Butter® Bits, peanut halves, dried mealworms, and striped sunflower.

Cardinal Courtship

During nesting season, Northern Cardinals perform an incredible display of courtship. The female cardinal will flutter her wings to entice the male to give her food. This courtship behavior is to strengthen the bond between the pair. Northern Cardinals are known to mate for life, making them a perfect couple to celebrate this Valentine's Day!

Watch Birds, Share What You See

Wild Birds Unlimited is the founding sponsor of the GBBC, supporting this effort since its inception in 1998. It is an inter-organizational effort between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Birds Canada. The simple act of watching and counting the birds is an excellent way to Save The Song Birds!
