New owners/ management We have been a loyal customer of this shop in Gainesville for years. We prefer to shop local and support these businesses. We were told at a pre-pandemic visit that if an expensive squirrel deferent feeder would not work for us that we could exchange at anytime.

Read moreGrayson helped us choose the equipment and food we would need to attract a variety of birds when we first visited WBU a few weeks ago. His guidance was so on point that we visited again today to add more feeders and a bird house and were lucky to work with him again. He answers every question clearly, knows so much about birds, their requirements, and which WBU products will meet our needs, plus he is so easy to work with. We can already see that everything we have gotten from WBU is the best quality there is and, with Grayson's help and expertise, we are seeing more species of birds every day. We are very...
