Ahhh, the chirping of the birds in the morning is the most wonderful sound to wake to. The birds are all beginning to migrate back and if you don't feed the birds now, you don't know what you are missing.
Bluebirds love to nest in wide open fields that have protection of trees, and closeness of a stream. If you want to attract bluebirds to your home, place the bluebird next boxes facing southeast on poles along fence rows. We carry many styles of these houses, so stop in and let our sales staff help you pick one or two out for your home. Copley Feed also carries the two different types of bluebird feeders, live mealworms, dried mealworms, and bluebird nuggets. Keep an eye out when the nest building begins. You want to make sure that sparrows don't take up housekeeping in your bluebird house. If this happens, go into the house and clean it out until the bluebirds take up housekeeping.
You will also want to be getting those hummingbird feeders, butterfly feeders, and oriole feeders out so they are ready to go when these creatures show up at your windows. We carry everything you will need for all these species.
Now, if you are having trouble with the birds flying into your windows, stop into Copley Feed today and ask for the window alert decals. We have special decals to keep the robins, cardinals and other territorial birds. Now for other birds, we have special decals to put on the windows for them as well.
It's time to get your bird baths out and cleaned up. If yours is not looking in its best shape, come into Copley Feed and check out our ceramic bird baths in multiple colors, even with the OSU emblem on them.
If you have a big open field with a stream running through it, why not look into putting up a purple martin house. We carry several different styles and you will not believe how many mosquitoes these birds will rid your home of. Speaking of controlling mosquitoes, you may also want to put up a bat house because bats will eliminate mosquitoes naturally also.
Don't forget that Copley Feed has the freshest bird seed in town year round. We sell our feeds in 5lb bags up to 50lb bags. Suet is also a very important product to have out for the birds in the summer. They use this to feed to the babies to get them off to a good start. All our suet has been rendered so it will not go rancid.
