Our Big Bear Blend is a proprietary blend of seeds that was first inspired to appease the picky wild birds of Big Bear Lake. Ingredients include black oil sunflower seed, hulled sunflower seed, and safflower seed, along with a bit of millet. These top-of-the-line ingredients are sourced from local, trusted vendors and provide a nutritious source of protein, fat, and energy for birds. Better seed, better birds!

Our Big Bear Blend attracts a wide variety of birds including, but not limited to, jays, nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers, and juncos. Be sure to share with us what visitors come to your feeder! Post and tag us on social (@chirpforbirds) or send us an email.

When adjusting the food you feed your wild birds, sometimes they need more time to acclimate to the new offerings. However, if they don’t warm up after a few weeks, please feel free to contact us so we can find a better option for your feathered friends.

Unopened bags are best stored indoors where it is cool and dark. Once the bag is opened you can store it in an airtight container or keep it in your fridge for extended freshness. We encourage a container that is pest proof, ideally durable metal.

Sustainable retail is a movement for businesses to be socially and environmentally responsible, taking into account the long-term impact on the environment, local communities, and global economy. You can read more about our Sustainability Credo.

A few quick ways to incorporate more sustainable practices include recycling or reusing plastic bags instead of immediately throwing them away. You can also donate unwanted items (like bird feeders) instead of putting them in the landfill. We are also excited to now carry refillable personal body care products. Bring in your own container to fill up on soap, lotion or body wash and only pay for what you fill up! Finally, be sure to sign up for our emails so you get our monthly articles on wild bird resources, sustainability tips, Chirp events, and so much more!
