It's no wonder birds are often part of Christmas traditions and symbols. 🕊️🎄⭐ To many cultures, birds represent happiness, joy, and peace, and are messengers of good things to come! Why not adopt one of the following LOVELY BIRD-FEEDING TRADITIONS from Scandinavia and Finland? They're a great way to practice kindness, to express gratitude for nature, and to help support our RGV birds! *️⃣ One old tradition is to hang wheat sheaves from tall poles or on doors or trees so that the birds also enjoy a good Christmas meal. If lots of sparrows or other small birds stop to enjoy this offering, it's thought to signal a good year ahead for crops. (Cobs of corn can be used instead.) *️⃣ Some people believe scattering bird seed on their doorstep Christmas morning will bring good luck in the new year. *️⃣ Some people decorate outdoor trees with balls of suet and bird seed. Sounds like a fun family project! Check out our selection of highly nutritious bird foods. They're exactly what our feathered friends most need right now, as natural food sources become harder to come by in the lean winter months. We also have tons of GIFTABLE ITEMS for your last-minute shopping! Thru Dec. 24, use code GIVEJOY to take 20% OFF one regularly-priced item!* https://mcallen.wbu.com/gift-ideas And don't forget to join us THIS SATURDAY for a FREE GUIDED BIRD WALK!

PRO TIP: When you're shopping for binoculars, bigger isn't always better! Images can get shaky at higher magnifications, so when it comes to getting a good look at your birds, stick with just 8x magnification. For birding, focus more on how BRIGHT and CRISP the image is. Stop by to see for yourself why we carry ZEISS and Vortex optics. Great imaging, huge bang for the buck, and they're built tough to last. They make great gifts, too! Our optics don't usually go on sale, but right now, you can EARN DOUBLE BIRD BUCK$ if you're a DSC member when you buy optics or anything else!* 💵💵 TODAY IS THE LAST DAY for our DAILY SAVINGS CLUB® members to get DOUBLE POINTS ✌️ on all merchandise!* That means you'll earn 💵$10 in Bird Bucks for every $100 you spend, instead of for the usual $200. Bird Bucks are good for a future purchase. Not a DSC member yet? Join today! Between the Bird Buck$ and your FREE $20.99-VALUE JOINING GIFT, the $25 annual fee pays for itself! Then you'll enjoy 15% OFF regularly priced bird food EVERY DAY, or an extra 5% off bird food sales, plus special promos throughout the year.

Meet our December Bird of the Month, the 🔴 Northern Cardinal!🔴 This year-round Rio Grande Valley resident is particularly striking over the festive season. FUN FACTS 🔴 The cardinal's redness comes from eating red and purple fruits with carotenoid pigments, like mulberries. However, non-native plants with such berries may be low in fats and proteins, contributing to poor health. 🔴 Males reach peak redness in midwinter in prep for spring breeding. 🔴 Both genders fiercely defend territory and will “fight” their reflections. 🔴 Female cardinals are brownish with a reddish bill, compared to similar looking Pyrrhuloxias, which are grayer with a yellow bill. 🔴 One of the few female songbirds in N. America that sing, possibly to signal males to bring food to the nest. Learn more on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology site: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Cardinal/overview FEEDING TIPS 🔴 Often visits feeders. 🔴 Eats many kinds of bird seed, but especially likes safflower. RELATED 🔴 Please join us Dec. 21 for our 2nd FREE GUIDED BIRD WALK walk at beautiful Edinburg Scenic Wetlands!
