We Are Not Your Average Bird Store
We have a great selection of bird houses, bird feeders, bird guides, garden art, and wonderful nature-inspired gifts.
We have National Wildlife Federation Certified Habitat Stewards on staff to answer your questions and help you create the wildlife habitat in your backyard that you've always wanted.
If you're having problems with squirrels, we can help you defeat them with squirrel-proof feeders that work or pole-and-squirrel-proof baffle set-ups that will keep them off your feeding pole or post.
Master Naturalist Taylor Piephoff will lead these walks along the Four Mile Creek Greenway in Piper Glen. This is a flat greenway along the creek and is either paved or on a boardwalk the entire length. We walk down to the cattail marsh and back, 2-3 hours at a leisurely pace, starting at Bird House.
Walks are $5 per person, which goes to Taylor for his time and expertise. Since we limit the number of people to smaller groups, please only register if you are sure that you can make it, so we don't waste any slots.
If you are interested in registering, click REGISTER below. If the walks sell out, there will be a waitlist in case of cancellations. So make sure you put yourself on the waitlist if there are no more slots.
MIGRATION BIRD WALK, SUNDAY 10/12 2PM
Birding with Taylor
Join us for a stroll down the greenway with our resident bird whisperer, Taylor! It’s part nature walk, part birding bootcamp, and all-around fun. Bonus: Fall Migration is in full swing so there's no telling what we will see.
Just click the date to spread your wings and sign up.
Only $5 per person—basically the price of a fancy coffee—for Taylor’s sharp eyes and expertise.

Attracting Songbirds March 24th, 2021
Are you looking to attract an abundance of species and make your yard an avian paradise? Here's a presentation from the Marvin Chapter of the NC Wildlife Federation (MARSH) about attracting songbirds to your yard.
On the Air!
We were invited to appear on the Fabulous Francene Marie show to talk about the birds and the bees (and butterflies). It was a great conversation with a great lady! Click to listen to the show in case you missed it.
Don't Touch That Nest!
Don't remove the nest once the chicks have fledged!
Once mama gets those birds weaned, she will put a fresh layer of straw on the old nest and start her next brood.
If you remove the nest, you may cause her to go elsewhere for the second batch, so resist the urge!
Unless something tragic or gross happens (dead babies, smashed eggs), just leave it alone!
