Spring is a special time for bird lovers, because the nesting season for backyard birds begins in March and continues through summer.
“It’s the most fun time of year,” says Tracy Hill, co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Hoover. “Nothing compares to watching a bird couple raise their babies in your own yard.”
Bird lovers turn to Wild Birds Unlimited’s trained staff in the spring and year round for the products – and the knowledge — they need to enjoy their passion.
“We’re the only hobby store in the Birmingham area dedicated to backyard bird feeding,” Hill says.
At Wild Birds Unlimited, customers obtain the nesting boxes they need to attract species like wrens and bluebirds, and the staff shows them how to position the boxes.
Bird lovers learn about planting dense shrubs for nest-building birds, including cardinals and robins.
They learn to plant native plants and shrubs. “Many birds rely on them for food,” Hill says.
Wild Birds Unlimited customers can also purchase the foods with lots of protein and fat that nesting birds need, including dried and live mealworms and the store’s exclusive Bark Butter.
“Having and raising babies requires lots of energy,” Hill says.
Wild Birds Unlimited carries “the best products available for backyard bird feeding,” Hill says.
Wild Birds Unlimited has two locations — their original store in Hoover Village Shopping Center, and a new location at 6215 Tattersall Blvd.
