With spring comes the NESTING season. Time to get NESTING BOXES/BIRDHOUSES ready. Take a few moments to watch the
birds around your home and you'll see they're involved in nest construction. Items helpful in their nest construction, like old string mop heads, cotton, small yarn scraps and other items are fun to add to their construction material choices. You can also help by providing these suggested supplements.
Birds
with a calcium deficiency lay soft-shelled eggs, which can be crushed or
destroyed during nesting. To help prevent that problem, set out
calcium-enriched suet. Extra calcium in their diet will help fortify
eggshells. CS Calcium Delight #CS517--$2.29.(Available in store only)
To
sustain their growth, baby birds rely on protein provided by their
parents. Live mealworms are a great source of protein. Simply set a few
worms in a feeder that won't allow them to crawl away, and the birds
will flock. Mealworms, one jar--$5.99. (Available in store only) To purchase "IN STORE ONLY" items, CLICK CONTACT US , and order by phone or email.
