Wednesday, December 11, 2019
Why should people have all the fun at Christmas? Afterall, the birds bring just as much joy to our lives as our family & friends (sometimes more - don't worry, we won't tell!). So, here are 12 of our favourite gifts for birds (& people) for the 2019 holiday season! (Please note that all products featured are available while supplies last. Please contact us to confirm availability.)


1. WBU Advanced Pole System (APS) & Accessories
Our patented Advanced Pole System is the number one feeding station available for new & veteran backyard bird enthusiasts alike. Our Advanced Pole System is completely customizable with interchangeable hardware which allows you to add or remove feeders, birdhouses, and other feeding accessories. Each pole system comes with our unique stabilization system, which tests have shown to hold the pole straight up in 56km/h wind gusts, ensuring your feeders & feeding accessories stay safe and secure. All hardware for our APS stations fit together easily, with no special tools required for assembly. Some accessories that are available for our Advanced Pole Systems include branch attachments, fruit feeding arm, pole mounted feeders, baffles, decorative finials, and so much more. The birds will flock to your Advanced Pole System, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy! Learn more about our Advanced Pole Systems & Accessories here.


2. Eliminator Squirrel Proof Feeder
Give them the gift that keeps on giving.. just not to squirrels. 😉 How does the Eliminator work? When a squirrel touches the the perch ring its weight closes the seed ports, blocking the squirrel from gobbling up all the seed. Its unique technology allows you to set the weight sensitivity so you can also exclude larger birds such as pigeons or doves if you so choose. The Eliminator holds approximately 3lbs of seed, and has a special ventilation system to help keep seed fresher, ensuring long-lasting feeding for your backyard birds. This high-quality feeder can be disassembled without tools for easy cleaning, and all parts are top rack dishwasher safe. To top it all off, it's backed by a limited lifetime guarantee!

3. Squirrel Buster Suet Feeder
Finally, a suet feeder just for the birds! The Squirrel Buster Suet is weight adjustable and has a closing mechanism that shuts out squirrels. A unique feature of the feeder is the Crumb Port. Crumbs that would otherwise be tossed to the ground fall in to the port where birds can easily get them. The Squirrel Buster Suet is easy to fill, and holds two 5"x5" WBU Suet Cakes. Easy to fill and hang, the Squirrel Buster Suet holds two 5” x 5” WBU Suet Cakes. See the Squirrel Buster Suet brochure for more information.


4. Holiday Themed Peanut Feeder
Our holiday themed peanut feeders are sure to put anyone in the Christmas spirit! Made from durable and easy to clean metal, these feeders are perfect for providing peanuts (with or without shells) or Bark Butter Bits through the harsh winter weather. Peanuts are a high-energy food that attract a variety of birds such as blue jays, woodpeckers, and nuthatches, and make a great addition to anyone's backyard bird feeding menu!


5. Modern Rustic Classic Feeder
A modern take on a classic feeder. Our stylish new line of Modern Rustic Feeders are made from the same recycled material as our popular EcoTough line, but with the rustic look of reclaimed wood. This beautiful hopper feeder has unique features such as perch drains which allow seed to drop out of the feeder for ground-feeding birds like mourning doves and dark-eyed juncos, angled perches which allow empty seed hulls to be carried away by the wind, and a removable screen bottom that is treated with EcoClean Product Protection, providing 24/7 product protection.


6. Featherweight Cylinder Feeder
Our Featherweight line is a thinner, lighter version of our recycled EcoTough material that comes in a cool, clean colour scheme. The Featherweight Cylinder Feeder features angled perches which allow seed hulls and crumbs to be carried away by the wind, an overhanging roof to protect the cylinder and provide shelter for the birds feeding, and curved ends to allow for easy viewing of both sides of the feeder. This cylinder feeder fits any one of our WBU Seed Cylinders, and is easy to fill and hang.


7. Wreath Peanut Feeder
Our Wreath Peanut Feeder is a great addition to any feeding station, and is a year-round favourite of the birds. Like our holiday themed peanut feeders above, our wreath feeder is made from durable and easy to clean metal. The large opening in the center of the wreath allows for birds to land & stand comfortably while feasting on the delicious peanuts inside!


8. WBU Heated Bird Bath
"Oh the weather outside is frightful, but this heated bird bath is so delightful!" - every bird in your yard. While there is snow around for the birds to get their hydration, it takes a lot of energy to convert snow to water, and during these cold winter months birds need to conserve as much energy as possible! Help them out by installing our WBU Heated Bird Bath. This bird bath provides an open water source when natural sources are frozen, even in temperatures below -29℃. Providing a consistent & fresh water source will not only help the birds, but it will also take your backyard birding game to the next level by helping to attract species who may not come to your birds feeders.

9. Suet Cylinder Log Feeder
My personal favourite new feeder this year, is the Suet Cyclinder Log Feeder. Made of durable resin to have the look and feel of a real log, this beautiful feeders designed with the birds in mind. The Suet Cylinder Log Feeder holds one of our nutritious suet cylinders inside, while the grooves on the outside of the feeder make a great place to spread Bark Butter. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees alike will be flocking to your yard to get a taste of what this feeder has to offer!


10. Holiday Seed Characters
Feed the birds and decorate your yard all in one shot! Our adorable Holiday Seed Characters come in a variety of styles, and are convenient and long-lasting way to feed the birds. Each seed character is made up of a blend of sunflower chips, safflower, peanuts, fruits, and millet, and can be offered in any of our seed cylinder feeders. These festive characters are sure to attract a wide variety of species to your yard!



11. Christmas Blend Seed & Suet
A favourite each year is our WBU Christmas Blend Seed & Suet Cakes. Packed full of sunflower seed, almonds, peanuts, cranberries, and suet nuggets (in Seed Blend), this formula is sure to satisfy those holiday cravings. Due to the larger nut pieces in this seed blend, we recommend offering it to your birds in a hopper or tray rather than a tube feeder where it may get clogged.

12. Winter SuperBlend Seed & Cylinder
Want to give your birds a boost this Christmas? Offer our seasonally-savvy Winter SuperBlend! Available in a seed blend or seed cylinder, our Winter SuperBlend is chock full of energy-boosting foods such as sunflower chips, pecans, peanuts, tree nuts, Bark Butter Bits and Nutrasaff. The seed blend can be offered on its own, or mixed in to one of our everyday seed blends for extra calories. Our Winter SuperBlend is only available for a limited time, so fill your sack while there's still time!
