Spend 2021 with Us 

2020 will certainly be remembered by all of us, but not for all the best reasons.

For Lois and me, we will remember 2020 as the year our customers proved without a doubt their love of the birds and their love of our little hobby shop.

Being at home more has given many of you more time to enjoy watching the birds. If you’re like us, birds helped bring a much needed calm, beauty, and certainty to a tumultuous year. We knew we could look outside and the birds at our feeders would make us happy and help us relax.

Many of you have also used this newly found at-home time to further expand your interest in the hobby. We are thankful that you turned to us to provide advice and supplies to enhance your enjoyment of the birds at home.

We know we are fortunate to be amongst the retailers that not only survived the year but did just fine. And for that, we are truly thankful to you for your loyalty and for trusting us more than ever to help deepen your love and appreciation of the wonderful birds in your yard.

We look forward to sharing a safe, peaceful and bird-filled 2021 with you.

Nancy & Lois
