HAVE YOUR HEARD?!?!
You've been fighting with (and complaining about) the traffic and parking so the time has come for us to do something about it!
DELIVERIES!!!!!! FREE DELIVERIES!!!!! Get your fresh Greenway Blend (or whatever) delivered right to your DOORSTEP!
Starting July 1st, we will be offering deliveries twice per week. For orders over $50 the delivery will be FREE! For orders less than $50, there will be a $7 delivery charge.
The initial delivery area will be anything inside the 485 beltway and south to Waxhaw. We will iron out the details as we get a feel for how popular this will be and may expand it if there's a demand. If you aren't sure if you are in the delivery area, call and check.
We are working on a tech solution that will automate the process, but in the meantime, you can place your order with either store by calling, telling us what you need and providing a credit card number.
On Tuesdays and Fridays (except July 5 and some holidays), we will deliver to your home or office. There may be some weeks that the delivery days change due to staffing levels, but we will let you know that when you place your order.
We will leave it on your doorstep. If we are delivering seed while you're not home you may want to provide a metal container to place the seed in to prevent critters from helping themselves.
ANYTHING in the store is available for delivery: All of our seed blends, suet, hummingbird feeders, garden art, etc. If it is especially heavy, like a large bird bath, special arrangements may need to be made, but we will cross that bridge, as they say, when you order it.
If you have pre-purchased seed on our Bulk Seed Program, you can now get that seed delivered for the $7 fee.
We are going to try this for three months and we reserve the right to cancel the service if the demand is not there. We also reserve the right to tweak if we need to but for three months, $50 and over will get you free delivery!
Place your order today!

WATER!
We say it a lot, but water is so important right now. This is just the beginning of summer so its going to get hotter and drier.
Its important to keep birdbaths filled with fresh water. Small dishes on the ground are also great for birds and other critters who might not be able to reach a high bath.
Misters, installed in a tree, is a magnet for birds and a HOOT to watch during the hottest part of the day.
Even a sprinkler can be great relief for hummingbirds who might not be able to use a deeper bird bath.
For those of you nervous about mosquitoes: Change the water every other day to break the cycle of larvae to mosquito. It takes 3 days for the larva to emerge as a mosquito, so if you are replacing the water every other day, you are stopping the process.
Moving water is also helpful to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs and to attract
birds to the water.
Bees also need water now but they are horrible swimmers! You can convert a birdbath to a bee waterer with a few rocks. It gives the bees somewhere to land and/or crawl onto if they fall it.
No matter how you offer the water, the critters will appreciate it!

MAKE SURE ITS FRESH!!!!
Nectar spoils quickly in hot weather, so make sure you are changing your nectar every other day! It is not good for the hummingbirds if it spoils.
Make a large batch and keep it in the refrigerator. It makes it easy to change the nectar in the feeder more often if you don't have to start from scratch each time.

Feeder Cleaning Service!!
Dirty Feeders?
We've got the solution!
Remember how pretty and clean your feeders were when you filled them with seed the first time?
Well, not only are clean feeders pleasant to look at, but its important to keep your feeders clean for the health of the birds that use them.
Here's how it works. Drop off your feeders at either of our locations by noon on Monday and pick them up after noon the following Monday at the same location. Cost is $10 per feeder for the first four feeders, $8 per feeder for five or more.
You pay for the cleaning when you drop off the feeders (cash or check). Please bring particularly dirty feeders in a bag or a box with your name and email or phone number in the feeders so that we keep the mess to a minimum in the backroom.

BIRDS AND THEIR REFLECTIONS
Male birds everywhere are putting on their most colorful, attractive attire, hoping to catch the attention of a female with which they will pair this season. The warmer weather and lengthening days are a signal that it is time to set up a territory, find suitable accommodations and get down to the business of raising the next generation. In the process of defending their territories, they sometimes mistake their own reflections in your windows or car mirrors for competition and spend a lot of time fighting with themselves. This can be annoying as well as messy. You can use mylar ribbons, put paper on the outside of the windows or spray a soapy film on the windows to keep them from seeing their reflections. With car mirrors, tie a bag around the whole mirror.
It may also help to get a cheap mirror and set it up nearby under a bush or near a tree. Hopefully he will spend time fighting with himself there instead of against your windows. Then grab a sweet tea or a martini and watch him fight himself until he finds a mate, then the show will probably be over, but a whole new one will begin if they choose your nesting box!

Yes, we know.
We know that you think birding stores are for nature nerds or little old ladies with nothing better to do than sit around drinking tea and watching birds. |
|
And yes, we know that you think that "birders" are just one step removed from the crazy "cat lady".
(Some of us may be approaching that line but we are SO MUCH MORE!!!) |
|
We also know that there are some young hipsters who love birds. And we suspect that you may be one of them.
You love birds but you also like contemporary home decor. You like hip fashions and fun grooming products but you enjoy nature too! You like to bring some of the nature inside to enjoy. You have been waiting for bird stores to "get it".
