100% Consumable Birdfeeders

Here's how it works in Four Steps:

Step One: Hang a Charlotte's Birdseed feeder off of a branch or a hook.

Step Two: Wait for the wild songbirds to find and land on the feeder. If you don't already feed the birds this can take up to 3 weeks! once they find it they will flutter around the feeders and land on them and eat the seeds, dried fruits, and nuts that go into every feeder shape.

Step Three: Eventually all of this pecking will cause the feeder to fall to the ground. Because the feeders are natural and more like a dense cookie, it is hard to predict how long they will stay hanging up for. Once the feeder falls to the ground it is not done feeding the birds! Many wild bird species only feed on the ground, so now they will have their chance at a treat.

Step Four: Once all of the seeds, nuts, and dried fruits have been enjoyed by the critters in your yard - be it feather or fur - the natural yarn, twine and cotton strings I use to hang the feeder up with will remain on the ground or still hanging. Please leave this where it is! This string is valuable nesting material for wild birds, squirrels, rabbits and any other creature that needs a a cozy spot to shelter in. Every part of the feeder helps support the wildlife that calls your yard home. (and it's also nice to not have to refill or clean anything up too!)

  • The Awesome History of Seed Bombs

  • Seed Bombs are nothing new! I mean, I’ve put my own spin on them, but the history of seed bombing is super badass.

  • What is it though?

  • A seed bomb is a solid sphere made up of compost, worm castings, seeds and clay to seal it all in. You toss the seed bomb anywhere you want wildflowers (or whatever plant seeds are inside) to grow. The goal is to add more beneficial plants to our environment. (image Banksy)

  • Let nature decide when the time is right

  • Coating seeds in clay goes back thousands of years (clay helped keep the seeds protected from critters and the wind, and let the seeds grow when conditions were right).Masanobu Fukuoka, in the 1930’s in Japan, used “seed dumplings” in his natural agriculture practices. His belief was “Mother Nature takes care of seeds we sow and decides what crops to provide us... nature decides what will grow and when, be it 7 days or several seasons away”.

  • In New York City in the 1970’s, Liz Christy of the “Green Guerillas” was an eco activist and reclaimed abandoned lots in red-lined neighbourhoods by lobbing seed bombs over fences, and watched flowers start showing up the next year! Image Liz Christy

Anti-collision Window Clings

Add folk art to your window and help save wildbirds lives! Migrating birds can become distracted by window reflections so putting on the anti-collision window clings is still very helpful. Hundreds (and hundreds...) of Millions of birds die by flying into windows. It's very hard for birds to interpret a window from it's reflection and they hit it. Birds also may think their reflection is a predator and they attack. Charlotte's Birdseed worked with a Winnipeg artist to create this original design that does 3 big jobs:

1: Helps to prevent bird strikes by breaking up the reflections

2: adds a super cute piece of art to your space

3: $2 from every purchase of the window cling is donated to the Important Bird & Biodiversity Area projects by Nature Manitoba!
