Welcoming a New Season and New Feathered Friends to Your Backyard

As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, Wichita's natural beauty comes alive. Our gardens and parks burst into color with blooming flowers, and the melodies of returning songbirds fill the air. This season of renewal brings with it the excitement of nesting, as birds prepare to raise their young.​

Supporting Our Backyard Birds During Nesting Season

Many of these birds may choose your yard as their nesting haven, becoming a delightful extension of your family. By providing the right resources, you can significantly impact their ability to thrive.​

Nutritional Boost: Nesting SuperBlend™

As birds gear up for nesting and egg-laying, their need for protein and calcium surges. These nutrients are vital for egg production and the healthy development of their chicks. Our exclusive Nesting SuperBlend™ is formulated to meet these needs, packed with:​ Sunflower chips​, peanuts​, mealworms​, Bark Butter® Bits​, nutrasaff​, tree nuts​, & calcium​. Offering this blend ensures that nesting birds receive the essential nutrients required for their families' success. ​

Providing Safe and Comfortable Nesting Sites

For cavity-nesting birds like bluebirds, wrens, and titmice, the quality of their nesting box is crucial. A well-designed box offers insulation against harsh weather, proper drainage, and ventilation, and allows for easy cleaning between broods. At Wild Birds Unlimited of Wichita, we offer a range of high-quality nest boxes, including our environmentally friendly EcoTough® line, made from recycled milk jugs. These durable boxes won't crack, fade, or rot, providing a safe home for your feathered neighbors for years to come. ​For more information on cleaning your nest box, see our video below.
