"Come by and let's talk birds!"

Still Our One and Only Location
It happened the other day. A customer asked why a certain feeder was $10 cheaper here than it was at our other store. Oops! That is simple, we don’t have another store.
I know there are other stores around the city that are similar to ours but the Backyard Bird Center in the Boardwalk Square Shopping Center is our one and only location.
I am not writing this for any other reason than to clear up any confusion that may be out there. We are very proud of what we have built here over the last several years and one day (when the kids are older) we may open another location but for now there is only one spot where we invite you to
“Come by and talk birds.” |

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 at the store or on-line. 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. |
