Plant a Tree, Save the Song Birds
Birds and trees go hand in hand. Trees aren’t just part of the landscape, they’re lifelines for birds. They provide shelter in every season, safe nesting sites in spring and an endless buffet of insects that nourish adults and their hungry offspring. Simply put: more trees = more birds.
Habitat loss is the biggest factor for the decline in bird populations. That's why Wild Birds Unlimited has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to restore critical forest habitats across the US and Canada. Together, we’re planting thousands of native trees that will benefit not only today’s birds, but generations to come.
You can be part of the solution right in your own backyard. Planting a single native tree creates food, cover and nesting opportunities for local birds, while also making your environment healthier and more vibrant. Join our mission to #SaveTheSongBirds and help nature thrive, one tree at a time. Learn more at www.wbu.com/plant-trees.
Prevent Window Strikes and Help Save the Song Birds
Here’s a harsh truth: colliding with windows can be fatal for birds. Even if they manage to fly away, they're not just “stunned,” birds are often seriously injured. Windows reflecting sky or greenery trick birds into thinking there’s a clear flight path, and juvenile birds (who are just figuring things out) are especially at risk.
Preventing window strikes is one way you can help Save the Song Birds. With a few thoughtful adjustments, you can help birds recognize your windows as barriers, not passage ways.
- Feeder Placement: Place bird feeding stations within three feet (1 meter) of the window or beyond ten feet (3 meters). Within three feet, birds ‘fleeing’ the feeder area will not have built up enough speed to injure themselves if they strike the window. Beyond ten feet, birds will have enough time to spot and avoid the window.
- Visual Cues: Apply deterrents to your windows (such as screens or decals) to help birds see the barrier and give them a chance to take action before any harm is done.
- Install a Window Feeder: Use a window feeder to make birds more aware of the glass and so you have a front-row seat to watch your feathered visitors.
Go here to learn more, or stop by the store and we’ll walk you through the best ways to wipe out window strikes.
