With all the winter storms and weather, make sure your birds have open water

Simple water safe extension cord, ground fault plug, and heater are all you need.

Visit your local bird or hardware store. Ordering online will be too late.

would really love a bit of Timothy hay scattered about on the snow--available from any feed (or larger pet store)-- or Amazon....

Many of the local birds enjoy a warm bath even in single digit weather.

All the bird (and squirrel) feeders are full.

We are ready for whatever comes our way.
