Decorate A Tree
Decorating a tree for the birds is a fun and easy activity. Just select a live, growing tree or shrub—preferably an evergreen—that is strong enough to support birds that come to dine.
Be sure to select a tree somewhere near a window so that once you have completed your decorating, you and your family can sit back and watch as the many beautiful birds and creatures come to enjoy their holiday treats.
Decorating a tree for our feathered friends and other wildlife is an activity the whole family can enjoy, especially at holiday time. Recipes may be obtained by visiting www.wbu.com

Seed and Feeders

BIRD SEED DESCRIPTION

Please note that the RCVA Special Feed has changed to Conservation Mix. The seed mix is similar with less white millet, more black oil and no peanut hearts. This mix should be very attractive to a variety of birds!

CONSERVATION MIX W.B. FEED - Sunflower (black oil), white millet, medium cracked corn.

SUNFLOWER (BLACK OIL) - more seed, less shell; higher fat.

NIGER (THISTLE) SEED - has been sterilized and will not germinate to grow thistles.

Bluebird Boxes for Sale

Bluebird boxes designed by Warren Lauder. Warren maintains the bluebird boxes at the Myrick Center and has been working on improving the design for 38 years. His design takes into account the loss of original habitat and adds safeguards against adverse weather, predators and competitors. Every detail, from the size of the entrance hole to the depth of the box and the air exchange system (for hot weather) has been carefully engineered to favor these beautiful birds. They come already assembled for your convenience. COST: RCVA members:$25; Non-members: $35.
