Hummers and Orioles are on the way. Hummingbirds arrive during March and April as they return from their winter migration.

Dr JB's Easy Clean Feeder

This is a great time to get out your hummingbird feeder and to get ready for their return. Be sure to check out our new Dr. JB’s Easy Cleaning Feeder, the best hummingbird feeder ever made! Solid and durable construction and easy to fill and clean.

Fliteline Jelly Feeder

Colorful Orioles begin arriving in April, so plan to get your out then. We have a great new product, BirdBerry   Jelly, that you can use in our Songbird Essentials Fliteline Jelly Jam Feeder. Over the counter jelly is very high in sugar content, so the lower sugar and higher fruit content of BirdBerry Jelly more closely matches their natural food sources. The unique grape/blackberry flavor keeps Orioles and other birds (like Catbirds and Woodpeckers) coming back for more.

Have you noticed Sparrows going into your Bluebird and Martin houses? If so they will drive out the

Nesting Material

Bluebirds and Martins from your nesting boxes. English Sparrows and Starlings will often attack and kill Bluebirds and Martins on a nest of eggs. Now is the time to trap and eliminate them. I recommend the use of the Songbird Essentials 2 compartment Sparrow Trap. Place it on Martin poles and other places like buildings where you want to eliminate Sparrows and Starlings. It works best if you bait the outside of the chambers with a small amount of Sparrow nesting material. You can also use popped popcorn. Keeping live Sparrows in the center compartment of the trap helps to attract more.

In most areas where the Eastern Bluebirds winter in the United States the male beginning in early to mid February takes the female around to potential nesting sites for the two of them to get cozy. First babies are often born the first or second week of March.  By the end of January is the best time to install Bluebird Houses if you are going to put them up. If you can’t do it until later – don’t despair as Eastern Bluebirds often raise 2-3 families per year depending on weather and food availability. Eastern Bluebirds also often use Bluebird Houses as a winter roost to get out of the wind and winter weather.
