Birds are in Our Nature
We started Mr.Bird in 1996 when we owned an independent wild bird supply store in San Antonio, Texas. In helping our customers we could see a demand for a better way to feed birds; loose seed would often be wasted and suet would melt in our hot summers.
Also, for some reason, birds in our area just wouldn’t eat suet. So our first seed and nut blocks were designed to train birds to come to the suet feeders, once the birds were used to the feeder they could then be switched to suet. Imagine our surprise when no one wanted to make the change to suet. Our blocks looked good, felt good, smelled good, and the birds went crazy for them. Why mess with messy suet?
The only complaint about our first birdseed block was its small size. We quickly designed and introduced our three sizes of cylinders with a totally original holder. Now birds were not limited to a few seed ports on a feeder and now seed couldn’t be thrown to the ground to sprout and attract unwanted critters. A better way to feed was truly at hand.

Thousands of dealers, hundreds of thousands of individuals, and millions of birds prove Mr.Bird is irresistible to wild birds.

❤️🐦 It`s easy to admire a cardinal for its bright red feathers... but it`s what you don`t always see that makes them truly remarkable.
Northern cardinals are devoted partners. Mated pairs often stay together year after year, sharing responsibilities from building nests to raising their young. If one parent is unable to care for the nest, the other steps in without hesitation.
No wonder they`re one of America`s favorite backyard birds.
Have you ever watched a pair of cardinals visit your feeder together? ❤️👇

🎉🐦 Celebrating 30 years of Mr. Bird.
From a small family operation in Texas to backyards across the country, it all started with a better way to feed birds.
And now, it’s being passed down to the next generation. 🪺✨
🐿️🐦 Squirrels… love them or hate them?
Some people enjoy them. Others just want them off the feeder.
Either way—you’ve got options.
Feed them separately, use a squirrel guard, or switch to hot pepper seed to keep your bird feed for the birds. 🌶️
Because you can have birds in your yard… without feeding the squirrels. 🪺✨
🐦❓ No birds at your feeder?
Give it time… but also check this:
• Is the seed fresh?
• Is it dry?
• Is your feeder clean?
If something’s off, birds won’t touch it.
Clean feeders = more birds. 🪺
🐦💬 Do you need to stop feeding birds in spring?
Not at all.
Feeding birds doesn’t affect migration—it’s instinctual. But in spring, natural food sources are actually limited, and birds are working overtime building nests and feeding their young.
That means they need your feeders now more than ever. 🌸🪺
Feed birds year-round—it helps them, and it helps your backyard thrive.
