Feeding Your Bird Economically April 8, 2009

When times got tight for everyone last fall when gasoline prices went sky high, we found that some of our customers were changing their bird’s diet to save money.

Instead of the premium bird food from our store, people started buying lower end food from Walmart and other places.  After a few months, we heard back from these customers about how much filler and other ingredients were in the cheaper bird food.

After they looked at how much they were throwing away each day from the cheaper food because their bird wouldn’t eat all the filler ingredients compared to how much they threw away from the premium food, they realized that buying the premium food from our store was actually a better buy (and better for their bird, too!)

If you have the room to store it, buying in larger quantities saves money.

At our store, we can special order larger bags of food for you if we do not have in stock what you are looking for.  Goldenfeast products come in 32# bags, regular seed comes in 20# and 25# bags, and pellets come in 10#, 20#, 25#, and 50# bags.  And, it takes less than a week to get them in stock.

Even if you do not have room for a big bag of food, feeding higher quality food is cheaper than the inexpensive food you can buy at the big box stores and grocery stores.
