![]() BIRD FEEDERS
Wild Birds Unlimited "I think there is a special interest or love of birds simply because they fly." Randy Urian helps feed that interest by helping you feed wild birds right in your own back yard. Feel like having a finch to fly by? There's a bird feeder just for you. Want a woodpecker chipping away? Randy can help you find the perfect feeder. Randy Urian Wild Birds Unlimited "This is a special designed woodpecker feeder which The way this is designed is it has a smaller opening and that's to discourage other birds from getting in there since woodpeckers have a long bill and a long tongu they will cling to the side of this." Wild bird watching is one of the most popular hobbies in West Virginia. We're lucky because there are so many beautiful, and beautiful sounding, birds in our area. If you're just starting out, you might want to consider putting a feeder in your back yard that will get you a variety of feathered friends paying you a visit.
Wild Birds Unlimited "The wooden hopper feeeder is a good choice for people who this may be their first feeder simply because it has the ability because of the large perching area that most of these have to attract a wide variety of birds." Once you've started feeding the birds, you'll naturally want to spend more time watching them and there are all types of things you can use to help you pick out the birds you are watching. You can use something like this for up close or you can go to the Cadillac of all spotters - this bad boy can help you spot an eagle nesting. With or without spotters, it's fun to spot birds paying you a visit. It's also something that will stay with you a lifetime. Randy Urian Wild Birds Unlimited "It's a lot of fun, especially for kids during the nesting season when they can watch the actual process of nest building and incubation and the baby birds leaving the nest."
