Wild Birds Unlimited — Local services in Paramus

We've only visited Paramus NJ store for years and years and they are fabulous.

When you first walk in, you greeted by the stores german shepherd, who then goes gets a treat as a reward. They have everything & anything you'd need from various types of feeders to a tremendous variety of bird, squirrel and even deer food. The staff is knowledgeable in all things birds and can provide very specific recommendations - just ask.

It's so chill in the store, and even though it's not huge I can spend a while just enjoying myself. As a "backyard birder" I've appreciated the staff's recommendations to get the best feeders and seed. You'll pay a bit more than you would at a generic/all-purpose store, but the quality is noticeable; the birds who frequent my yard clearly appreciate WBU seed compared to others that have too much "filler" seed.
