Bird feeding is one of America’s most popular hobbies and can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities, said Tracy Hill, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Hoover.
“It’s a peaceful, beautiful way to start and end the day or to spend the entire day,” Hill said.
For bird lovers in Birmingham, Wild Birds Unlimited is essential.
“It’s the only true hobby store in the Birmingham area dedicated to backyard bird feeding,” Hill said.
The well-trained staff members at Wild Birds Unlimited help customers find the best products for their yards. They also like meeting the customers.
“We enjoy hearing about their successes and learning what works in their yard,” Hill said.
The spring is “particularly exciting” because birds are entering nesting season and building their nests in trees, shrubs and nesting boxes, Hill said.
“It’s a wonderful thing to observe the entire process from egg laying to a baby bird leaving the nest,” she said.
Wild Birds Unlimited stocks a variety of nesting boxes, she said.
Spring is also “a great time to spiff up your yard with a new bird bath or beautiful decorative yard décor,” Hill said.
For example, the store carries “top-of-the-line” Corinthian Bells wind chimes, she said.
The store is also carrying a new feed, Bluebird Bugberry Blend, that attracts bluebirds. The blend works with a variety of feeders and is perfect year round.
At Wild Birds Unlimited, “sharing the joy of bird feeding is our daily goal,” Hill said. “We’re uniquely equipped to do that better than any other store that might carry bird-feeding products.”
