Wild Birds Unlimited

I have been coming here since they opened — actually I was there the day before if I recall.
The help is all great. They help you find what you need — talk about bird sightings in the area and are just overall friendly. Usually if my wife stays in the car — she will eventually come in to get me out of the store. :)
I have been a member since the beginning and it is worth it if you have any birds you are feeding — it saves you 15% and it doesn’t take long to break even and then shoot ahead.
I was missing a part to an old WBU feeder and they — no questions asked — replaced it. They have so many other items other then food — it is a great place to get gifts and decorations for others or your yard.

Love, love, love this store. And the staff are great too. They’re very helpful when it comes to the birds and the bees (no, they’re not offering that kind of advice…). I can’t decide whether or not to become a member ~ I don’t like having to pay the fee (the membership would get me 15% off all birdseed, and the birds know around here that I go through a lot of birdseed). They’re stocked full of cool products ~ all WBU products are guaranteed for LIFE! Yesterday I picked up a WBU «water wiggler». It’s a pretty dandy little device which circulates the water to attract birds and keep the mosquitoes from laying their eggs. I haven’t seen birds taking a bath yet, but one day maybe.

What a great little shop. I found several items to satisfy my hummingbird obsession, including a humming bird swing! I will be back to make more purchases. I am very satisfied with the bag of black oil sunflower seeds that I bought for my adorable black capped chickadee and warbler visitors. I am impressed that you can return used bird seed bags to recycle. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great little shop dedicated to wild birds. Friendly staff and lots of great gifts for the birdwatcher in your life or of course for yourself. Books, feeders, feed, gifts, etc. Just a great little store for someone who is or aspires to be a bird watcher.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this place yet! Unilocalers, get on it!
Our neighbor across the back fence is a professional landscape architect. His garden/​backyard is… sigh, I’ll never keep up. I noticed his bird feeder when the leaves fell and promptly became obsessed. My sweetie noticed and got me my very own bird feeder for Christmas! Yay!
Now I have chickadees and flickers and bushtits (heheh) and even a downy woodpecker! They’re hungry little buggers and the bag of seed that came with my feeder didn’t last long. Where to go? What to do?
Now that you’ve read my life story, I’ll review the business:
Wild Birds Unlimited is a small store in the same shopping center as Trader Joe’s in Burien. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s only about 15 minutes away in light traffic. (Don’t even think about it at rush hour.)
The staff knows what they’re doing but won’t overwhelm a newbie. They answered my questions and sold me the big bag of food, plus some suet and a suet feeder. (Woodpeckers and other insectivores like suet, and evidently chickadees scavenge fat from carcasses in the wild. Who knew?)
You’ll get a couple of really helpful publications with your purchase. Seed is not terribly expensive – $ 27 for a 25lb bag of premium «Northwest Choice» and feeders have lifetime guarantee.
Go here and get stuff. You’ll love feeding the birds and thwarting the squirrels!
