Stop in and see the selection of Husqvarna Snow Throwers in stock at Nightingale’s- you’ll find just the right model that fits your snow clearing challenge.

Winter is also a very popular time of year to feed wild birds- and Nightingale’s has a large selection of bird feeders and seed mixes including New York State made- Aspen Song Bird Seeds. Did you know February is National Wild Bird Feeding Month? Below are some bird feeding tips to help attract a variety of birds to your feeders:

• Want more songbirds? Add feeders to provide more feeding locations. If the typical feeder has four seed ports, adding two more feeders means twelve birds at a time can feast on Aspen Song. 
• Want more variety? Offer different mixes in different feeder types. Understand the food preferences and foraging habits of different groups of seed-eaters, and provide choices to them. 
• Become a dependable “food patch” by keeping feeders full all year long. Seed-eating songbirds return to a productive, natural seed source until the food is completely consumed before moving on. By keeping your feeders filled, they will continue to return to your yard for sustenance. 
• Keep your feathered guests healthy. Protect seed from the elements, keep it fresh, clean feeders regularly, rake up and remove seed hulls.
• Get to know your guests. Read about each of the different birds common in our area by visiting “Species Profiles” at www.aspensong.com.
