This is your sign to add a water feature to your backyard... and it's not just the birds who will thank you! 🐦🐸 This Giant Toad (Rhinella horribilis), also known as the Cane Toad, was spotted enjoying a relaxing dip in a bird bath — complete with a gentle water-drip "massage." Native to the Rio Grande Valley (as well as parts of Mexico, Central, and South America), these hardy amphibians are well-adapted to urban environments. You might even spot one in your own backyard! 🛑 A quick note: Please don’t handle them or let your pets get too close. Cane Toads secrete a toxin that can be deadly to predators and irritating to human skin. It’s always amazing to see wildlife making use of the spaces we influence the most — our own backyards! 🌿 Bonus: If you're a Daily Savings Club member (or thinking about joining), enjoy 15% OFF all our water products from August 28–September 1!* Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding specialists! 💛🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #BackyardBirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas *Offer valid in-store for DSC members at WBU McAllen. Offer not valid on previous purchases or sale items. Offer is valid August 28-September 1, 2025.
