Add Earth-friendly Products: Good for the Birds and the Environment

Feeding the birds in your backyard is a great way to enjoy and support nature. But how can a bird-friendly yard be as eco-friendly as possible? By using our top-quality feeders and houses made from sustainable or recycled materials like wood, bamboo and recycled plastic. It's something good you can do for the birds and for our environment.

Bring Sustainability to Your Backyard

Made from recycled and sustainable materials, many of our bird feeders and houses are as eco-friendly as they are bird-friendly. We're proud of our many eco-consciously sourced and produced items made from recycled plastic, eastern white pine, non-old growth western cedar and bamboo.

Our EcoTough® products are made from recycled plastics that would otherwise end up in landfills. A significant portion of the recycled plastic used is from post-consumer waste. Plus, EcoTough products last longer than wood, are easy to clean and they won’t warp or crack.

When you add any of these eco-friendly products to your backyard, you can feel good knowing that they're good for the birds and the environment.

 

Attract Bluebirds with Bluebird Bugberry Blend®

With a flash of blue and a cheerful song, bluebirds bring a smile every time they visit your backyard. Now you can attract them and keep them coming back by offering a blend designed especially for them. Our exclusive Bluebird Bugberry Blend® is loaded with bluebirds' favorite morsels including Bark Butter® Bits, dried mealworms, medium sunflower chips, diced peanuts, diced cranberries, raisins and a bit of calcium carbonate.

Bluebirds consume about four grams of food per day, or about 12% of their body weight. That's equivalent to a 200-pound human eating 24 pounds of food each day! Bluebird Bugberry Blend is a great source of high-energy fat, protein and calcium - plus it's no-waste and no-mess. A perfect blend to offer year-round, it comes in a convenient 3 lb. bag and can be offered in a variety of feeders like our Good Morning Bluebird Feeder, Universal Mealworm Dish, seed tube feeders or hopper feeders.

Set out the welcome mat and invite bluebirds to visit your backyard!
