Here's how it works in Four Steps:

Step One: Hang a Charlotte's Birdseed feeder off of a branch or a hook. If squirrels are a problem I suggest hanging feeders closer to your home, and on a longer string. Each home is different, but I have success hanging my feeders in front of my bay window. It not only prevents squirrels from eating the feeders, it also prevents birds from flying into the window; and it gives me and my cat a great show of the birds coming to eat delicious treats!

Step Two: Wait for the wild songbirds to find and land on the feeder. If you don't already feed the birds this can take up to 3 weeks! once they find it they will flutter around the feeders and land on them and eat the seeds, dried fruits, and nuts that go into every feeder shape.

Step Three: Eventually all of this pecking will cause the feeder to fall to the ground. Because the feeders are natural and more like a dense cookie, it is hard to predict how long they will stay hanging up for. Once the feeder falls to the ground it is not done feeding the birds! Many wild bird species only feed on the ground, so now they will have their chance at a treat.

Step Four: Once all of the seeds, nuts, and dried fruits have been enjoyed by the critters in your yard - be it feather or fur - the natural yarn, twine and cotton strings I use to hang the feeder up with will remain on the ground or still hanging. Please leave this where it is! This string is valuable nesting material for wild birds, squirrels, rabbits and any other creature that needs a a cozy spot to shelter in. Every part of the feeder helps support the wildlife that calls your yard home. (and it's also nice to not have to refill or clean anything up too!)

Add folk art to your window and help save wildbirds lives! Migrating birds can become distracted by window reflections so putting on the anti-collision window clings is still very helpful. Hundreds (and hundreds...) of Millions of birds die by flying into windows. It's very hard for birds to interpret a window from it's reflection and they hit it. Birds also may think their reflection is a predator and they attack. Charlotte's Birdseed worked with a Winnipeg artist to create this original design that does 3 big jobs:

1: Helps to prevent bird strikes by breaking up the reflections

2: adds a super cute piece of art to your space

3: $2 from every purchase of the window cling is donated to the Important Bird & Biodiversity Area projects by Nature Manitoba!
