EASY WAYS TO CONNECT WITH US

Subscribe To Our Newsletter

E-MAIL CLUB
Monthly Updates • Full Color Newsletter

We mention it from time to time, but the newsletter looks so much better in color. If you have internet access, we highly recommend downloading a copy (if for no other reason than to look at the beautiful photos taken by our customers)

Our e-Mail group is the first to know that the new newsletter has been posted on the website and they receive monthly e-Mails. These updates feature recent bird sightings, feeding tips and hike and program reminders.

You can SIGN UP for the e-Mails on-line or at the store. On-line tends to reduce the chance of human error (not being able to read handwriting can be frustrating). Don’t forget to add us to allowed e-Mails if you have a filter set up.
If you like the e-Mail newsletters you can have us take you off the paper copy list or simply receive both.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU!

Annual Open House

Sunday, December 6, 2009 1:00pm - 6:00pm

Monday, December 7, 2009 9:30am - 6:00pm

Melanie and I are extremely lucky. As small business owners, it is getting harder and harder to survive. If it were not for you, our loyal customer base, we surely could not keep our doors open. That is why this year we wanted to do something even more special for our Customer Appreciation Day. For the people who drive extra distances to get here (passing competitors on the way). And for the people who remember that it saves us money when you pay with cash or check instead of a credit card. And for those who choose not to take their conservation discounts (even though they belong to the groups we support) because they know it is tough enough for the small business owners to stay in business . . .We invite you to come meet some very special guests on Sunday December 6th.
For the 7th year in a row, everything in the store (except 40lb and larger bags of bird seed) will be 15% OFF. Sorry we can’t combine with other offers or coupons those days. We will also have great refreshments, door prizes and drawings for fabulous gifts. The extra added treat will be for those who can come in after 4:30 pm. on Sunday the 6th. Swoop the Eurasian Eagle Owl and Talon the baby Spectacled Owl will be in the store for your enjoyment. These magnificent birds are part of the Wings Of Love bird show. You can visit Yvonne’s website www.wings-of-love.com for more information about these and all of her great birds.

New "House" Pet Items

After years of requests, we have finally brought in a few “house” pet items for sale. It started with a search for high quality dog food for our own animals and has led to a section of the store dedicated to our furry friends. Earthborn Holistics dog food is a high end dog food that has really impressed everyone who has tried it. Our dogs as well as dogs of the first few customers that have reported back in all say their dogs choose it soundly over their old food. Check their website: www.earthbornholisticpetfood.com for details on

all of their ingredients and formulas. Does you pet spend time outside in the winter months? We now carry the heated dog bowl we’ve used for the past three winters. It never freezes over. Dogs and cats need toys to occupy their time. We did some recommendations. Our two dogs are having loads of fun with the Hide-a-Squirrel.
We love our pets and we want to be healthy and happy. Don’t forget them this holiday season!

Winter Tilley hats are nearly as popular as their classic Tilleys. With fold down ear flaps and forehead warmers, they are a far more stylish way to keep your head warm than a stocking cap. They too have the lifetime warranty and the endorsement for skin cancer protection from the Mayo Clinic.We also have the new color Herringbone Brown in stock.

Project FeederWatch has helped us monitor the population growth of birds like this Carolina Wren.
