Feeder filling while you’re away

$18 per visit · within 3 miles of the shop

For neighbors who travel: up to two reachable outdoor feeders, filled with seed you provide. Leave the seed in an agreed dry outdoor spot. We set the visit dates, access instructions and quantity before you leave. Cleaning, repairs and ladder work are not included.

Ask for the dates you need. Filling visits depend on the route and weather; we confirm the plan before you travel.

A note from the shelf

Which birds might visit in winter?

Chickadees, cardinals and nuthatches are common Midwestern winter visitors. Sunflower seed is a good starting point for all three. Your yard, the weather and nearby trees affect who turns up; no feeder brings a promised guest.

Can I put a nest box out in December?

You can choose a place and mount it now, but think of it as a spring nesting purchase. For birds to watch this winter, begin with a feeder and seed.

Make a little room for winter.

Include quantities, a pickup day or your travel dates in the request.
