Bird feed stores are incredibly popular this year.

One type of retail business that is doing well through out these months of pandemic is retail specializing in bird seed for wild birds. People have rediscovered nature in their backyards and are buying bird feed supply’s. Even during times when stores were forced to be closed to the public, most bird feed suppliers saw an increase in curb side and delivery sales.

This summer I have been spending a lot of time calling these store hoping to make sales and have had numerous conversations with owners about how their business is doing. However, I cannot always interest them in earrings since their customers are not necessarily spending a lot of time in the stores shopping for gifts. But we are getting Some good orders from these stores when so many of the gift shops we work with at nature centers and refuges are closed. So we are really thankful for these highly practical nature stores and that they are here for people to turn to when they are looking for nature So close tp their homes.
