Did you know feathers are more than 90% protein?🪶🪶 🪶🤯
So growing new feathers—which a lot of adult songbirds are doing right now—demands a lot of protein, as well as fats. Most adult songbirds molt (change feathers) once a year, usually after nesting season. Worn feathers drop away and fresh ones emerge.
You can make a difference by keeping your feeders full of high-fat, high-protein foods, such as our No-Mess Blends, peanuts, sunflower chips, mealworms, finch blends, and no-melt suets. These essential building blocks will help your birds maintain their health (and good looks!) throughout the molt.
Keep your eyes peeled for these American Goldfinches in the coming months, as some come to overwinter in the Rio Grande Valley.
🎤🗓️ And don't miss the great FREE TALK THIS SATURDAY the 23rd with well-known local native plant expert Anita Westervelt! She'll teach us about the 12 native plants sure to bring HUMMINGBIRDS to your yard! 🌺
Be sure to stay after for our popular NATIVE PLANT SALE! 🛒🌻🌿

Parenting is indisputably demanding, requiring immense physical and emotional effort. From juggling the numerous demands related to raising children and managing all the daily routines associated with it to navigating the complexities of a child’s development and well-being, the journey is often filled with equal parts joy and frustration, and striking a healthy balance can be a never-ending struggle.
To help parents navigate the challenges, South Texas Health System Behavioral will host a special parenting conference on Thursday, August 21. Entitled “Raising Resilient Children Parenting Conference,” the event is designed to empower parents and caregivers with practical tools for today’s challenges.
This conference is about more than just parenting; it’s about building emotionally resilient families from the inside out, with each session is designed to give parents practical skills they can apply immediately to foster stronger connections and healthier homes.
The free, dynamic event will feature sessions, each offering a unique area of support, including:
• Positive discipline, communication & strengthening parenting techniques
• Defusing the Fuse: Mastering Verbal De-Escalation
• Coping skills for parents to manage stress and build resilience
• Self-care strategies aimed at preventing parental burnout
Let’s build stronger homes together!

Wild Birds Unlimited
Did you know feathers are more than 90% protein?🪶🪶 🪶🤯 So growing new feathers—which a lot of adult songbirds are doing right now—demands a lot of protein, as well as fats. Most adult songbirds molt (change feathers) once a year, usually after nesting season. Worn feathers drop away and fresh ones emerge. You can make a difference by keeping your feeders full of high-fat, high-protein foods, such as our No-Mess Blends, peanuts, sunflower chips, mealworms, finch blends, and no-melt suets. These essential building blocks will help your birds maintain their health (and good looks!) throughout the molt. Keep your eyes peeled for these American Goldfinches in the coming months, as some come to overwinter in the Rio Grande Valley. 🎤🗓️ And don't miss the great FREE TALK THIS SATURDAY the 23rd with well-known local native plant expert Anita Westervelt! She'll teach us about the 12 native plants sure to bring HUMMINGBIRDS to your yard! 🌺 Be sure to stay after for our popular NATIVE PLANT SALE! 🛒🌻🌿 Details: https://www.facebook.com/wbumcallen/events https://mcallen.wbu.com/events Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 Featured Bird: American Goldfinches WBU Food: Finch Blend Feeder: Quick-Clean™ Medium Finch Feeder (Yellow) #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #nativeplants #gardening
