Ever wonder what it really takes to bring owls to your yard? Brian is joined by Jim Carpenter, Founder, President and CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited, who's hosted nesting owls for nearly 30 years, to explain why habitat matters more than a nest box. They cover the diet and behavior of owls, plus how native trees, water, brush piles, and skipping rodenticides can make any yard owl-friendly. Learn to recognize their calls and live alongside these remarkable backyard predators.
What if jays or crows could save your life, help replant forests after fires, or learn to communicate with you? Brian is joined by WBU store owners Kurtis Huston of Kamloops, BC and Laura Fleming of Medford, OR to explore the fascinating world of jays, crows and other corvids. Discover just how intelligent these birds can be, the surprising ways they interact with people, and the important roles they play in the natural world. Plus, learn how to attract or deter them.
Brian dives into Foundational Feeding, the single feeder that can make or break your entire backyard bird-feeding setup. He explores what makes a feeder a true "Grand Central Station" for birds, from capacity to food blends to placement, and shares the secret to keeping the activity buzzing all summer long.
Discover why feather health begins with proper nutrition. Brian is joined by Amy Nepsa and Gale Jacoby of the Yorba Linda and Riverside, CA, WBU stores to explore how seasonally savvy nutrition, including protein, fats, and calcium, supports young and adult birds during summer molting. They also share their experiences testing the new FeatherPro® SuperBlend® and the impressive variety of birds it attracted.
Some people choose to not feed in the summer, but what are they missing? A whole lot it turns out. John and Brian make a case for helping your birds by providing key supplemental nutrition, as well as attracting more birds and seeing behaviors you’d otherwise miss.
John and Brian discuss the best bird mom ever. Hummingbird moms are arguably some of the toughest ladies out there. With all the odds stacked against them, we should celebrate how hummingbird moms are champions this Mother’s Day.
Habitat, habitat, habitat! That’s right, there’s more to learn about our own little natural parks we call our backyards. John and Brian share exciting new research on just how much of an impact an individual can make for local wildlife. Hint: it’s a lot! Stay tuned until the end to find out if we could see the dodo again in our lifetimes.
