Backyard Birding Specialist. We carry Mother Nature Bird Seed, Aspects, Window Gems, Brome and more The Wild Bird Store launched in 1997.

Mac's father had a passion for birding that he passed onto his son. An opportunity rose to purchase a backyard birding store, and with a gift from his Father, Mac and Linda purchased what is now The Wild Bird Store. They ran the store for 17 years, building it on customer service, education, quality products, and supporting local artisans. In 2013 Mac and Linda's daughter, Kris, and business partner Dave, took over the day to day operations of the store. Mac and Linda passed on their love for birding, and passion for education and customer service. Kris and Dave have continued to build on the foundations of the store, and we are
very happy with our locations that provides an even better experience for our customers.

🐦🌳 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫!

Ever spotted a tiny bird spiralling up a tree trunk? You might have seen a Brown Creeper! 👀

Unlike many other birds, Brown Creepers work their way upward along tree trunks, searching for insects hidden in the bark. Once they reach the top, they often fly down to the base of another tree and start again! 🌳🐛

Small, well-camouflaged, and always on the move, these little birds are fascinating to watch!

Absolutely! 🐦 Even during Calgary's coldest months, our feathered friends still need access to water.

While birds can eat snow to stay hydrated, providing a source of unfrozen water can make things a little easier for them during the winter months! 💙
