Welcome, North Vancouver!
Shop Local, Support Canadian
At Wild Birds Unlimited, we take great pride in supporting Canadian businesses and sourcing locally whenever possible.
Many of our bird seed blends, feeders and unique nature products come from trusted suppliers right here in Canada, helping us provide fresh, high-quality options for backyard bird enthusiasts. We understand that sourcing can be complex and while some of our products are made in the U.S., they come from small, family-run businesses that share our commitment to providing high-quality bird food and products designed specifically for our local birds.
As a family run, locally owned and operated business, we recognize the challenges that both customers and small businesses are navigating. Our goal is to continue offering the very best products for you and your birds while supporting as many Canadian suppliers as possible. We encourage you to take time to enjoy the sights and sounds of the birds you attract, finding joy in their visits and the connection to nature they bring.
Thank you for choosing to shop local with us! If you have any questions, we're always happy to help - stop by the store or reach out anytime.
Create a Thriving Habitat for Birds with Native Plants
Native plants and insects have coexisted for eons, forming the foundation of our ecosystem. Countless types of insects use specific native plants to provide food for their offspring (think caterpillars). When these native plants are replaced with undesirable ones (such as turf grass), insect populations crash, as do the bird populations that count on insects as food for their nestlings.
A plant is native if it has occurred naturally in a particular region, ecosystem or habitat without human introduction. Native plants provide shelter and nesting areas for birds, as well as natural sources for nectar, seeds, berries and insects.
Native Plant Facts
- Native plants typically grow healthier and stronger than non-natives.
- Native plants are low maintenance, requiring less watering, fertilizer and pesticides.
- Native plants assist in managing rainwater runoff and maintain healthy soil as their root systems are deep and keep soil from being compacted.
- For you, native plants add a wealth of beauty, texture, varying heights and bloom times, providing a stunning display over multiple seasons. For birds, native trees and plants are home to caterpillars and other insects, which provide food for nestlings.
