It’s officially fall, and many of our local birds are getting ready for their big migration, while others are migrating here. Are your feeders full and ready for them? Let’s help you out, with Chirp’s Seed Subscription, offered to the residents of Big Bear Lake. Get fresh, locally sourced, nutrient-rich bird seed mix delivered right to your door. Here’s how it works, and why it makes a difference to the birds in your backyard.
How Does Chirp’s Seed Subscription Work?
Think of us as the GrubHub for birds. Simply sign up online by adding a Big Bear Wild Seed Subscription to your cart, and choosing a 3-, 6-, or 9-month subscription. You’ll then get a 5-lb. bag of our premium Big Bear blend seed mix dropped off at your door every month for that term. You’ll also save 9.1%, when compared to buying seed without a subscription. Sign up for yourself today or gift a subscription to the nature lovers in your life.
Why Sign up for a Seed Subscription?
Always have bird seed on hand, rain or shine, with a seed subscription. Whether you’re new at backyard bird feeding, or a seasoned pro, if you plan to keep your feeders full season after season, this subscription ensures that you’ll never run out of bird seed. Choose a monthly plan to enjoy uninterrupted backyard bird watching all year.
Why It’s Important to Keep Your Feeders Full
What if you rocked up to your favorite restaurant to find out that they ran out of food? Well, maybe you’d understand the first time, but if it kept happening, you’d probably find somewhere else to eat. It’s the same with birds—they look for consistent food sources that they can count on, especially when they’re gearing up to migrate, nest, and raise their young. They need to know where they can count on for sustenance!
Keeping your bird feeders full shows the birds that you are a reliable food source. Make it easier on yourself with a seed subscription! Although your feeder is a secondary food source for them, birds rely more heavily on feeders in fall and winter, when natural food sources are harder to find. Not only that, full feeders with quality bird seed means you’ll attract more—and more types—of birds, for an exciting backyard birdwatching experience!
Why It Matters What You Put in Your Feeder
Cheap bird seed is full of fillers that birds pick through and toss out, creating a mess of spilled seed under your feeders. The result: birds get less of the nutrients, fat, and protein that they need to survive, and you get a ground full of spilled seed that will attract rodents and other pests. Plus, you might as well throw your money away with that pile of spilled seed on the ground.
Investing in a high-quality seed mix virtually eliminates all the “cons” of cheap seed mixes. Premium seed mixes, like Chirp’s Big Bear Blend, are full of the morsels birds love, including black-oil sunflower seed, an excellent source of fat and protein for those long-distance migrations. Because this seed mix is so full of bird-favorite fare, it also means significantly less mess under your feeders, and more bang for your buck in terms of your pocketbook.
What Birds Can You Attract with Chirp’s Big Bear Blend?
All sorts! When you keep your feeders full with our Big Bear Blend, you will likely attract jays, juncos, woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, finches, flickers, sparrows, towhees, and many more local birds.
