Christmas Gifts For The Gardener – And For The Birds

Here is an opportunity to please your gardening friend, as well as his or her feathered friends. When it comes to Christmas gifts, Wild Birds Unlimited has a great variety of bird feeders and supplies.

Saturday morning at our house is for the birds.  Well, not literally, but they can reliably be seen right outside of our bedroom window.  We’ve got a shepherd’s hook with two feeders, and I can watch them while we’re all snuggled up in bed.  This red-breasted grosbeak stopped by last spring.  They must have been just passing through as we only saw them for a few weeks. The feeder on the right has been around for a long time, because that’s what happens when you buy a quality item from Wild Birds Unlimited.

Saturday morning is also big breakfast morning, during which, we watch the birds again.  No, we aren’t official bird watchers who go out looking for them, more the kind who want the birdies to come to us.  So we’ve got this suet feeder from Wild Birds Unlimited right outside the kitchen window in the winter. The birds like the high fat content of this high energy food. It can be hard for them to find food this time of year, and those extra calories help keep them warm. Of course, WBU has suet in a variety of flavors to please even the most discriminating guest. In the summer, the suet feeder is replaced by a hummingbird feeder.

The WBU squirrel-proof feeder is just a bit further away, still within site of the breakfast table.  It’s perfectly placed right by the little pond that provides water, and the contorted filbert that provides a safe perch.

You can find a Wild Birds Unlimited location near you. We’ve got a Wild Birds Unlimited nearby in Arlington Heights at 321 East Rand Road.
