JUST FEED THE BIRDS and MAKE a WORLD of DIFFERENCE
It might be hard to believe that one person feeding the birds in their yard can help restore the balance of nature, But it's true. Because in nature, everything is connected. And everything matters.
Wild Birds are essential to biodiversity- our planets way of maintaining its own health. By wreaking havoc on wildlife habitats with our roads and buildings and suburban towns, we' ve thrown biodiversity out of balance. Like canaries in a coal mine, our declining bird populations are warning us that our environmental health is in jeopardy. Feeding backyard birds is a simple yet effective way to favorably affect bird populations and encourage and sustain biodiversity.
It"s a natural sequence the more you feed the birds in the winter, the greater number of birds will survive to raise their young. The more you feed the birds during nesting season, the less time the parents will need to stay away from the nest foraging for food. The better the baby birds are fed, the higher the survival rate. The more baby birds that survive, the more insects they consume. The fewer insects you have, the fewer chemicals you"ll have to use. The fewer chemicals you use, the healthier you and your children, your pets, your yard and water supply will be. The healthier the habitat is the more birds there will be. The more you feed the birds, the sooner all of this will happen.
So just feed the birds, And make a world of difference.

Welcome to our website! It is still a "work in progress" but you will still find lots to look at!
You can find our Backyard Birding stores in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, BC. We specialize in everything for the "Backyard Birder", from bird seed and feeders to binoculars and scopes. And we also carry a wide assortment of gift items including stained glass, windchimes and nature products - if it has a bird on it, you will probably find it here.
We are a small buisness and really depend on your loyal support. Many of you might not be aware, but 50% of our buisness is selling seed. We strive to always bring you top quality seed ( Fresh and always new crop). With out your continued purchases of bird seed, our stores would not survive.
Cliff and I can also help you with any advice on either bird feeding or bird identification. We have been doing both for over 25 years and we feel confident that we will be able to answer any question.
Happy Birding!
Cliff & Sherry Jury
