Give your feathered friends a mid-fall treat and stock up on their favorite birdseed at a special price.
Orders are due by Friday, September 30, for Audubon Community Nature Center’s (ACNC) Fall Birdseed Sale, your opportunity to save and support Audubon at the same time.
Ordering through the sale guarantees that non-Nature Center Members receive 20% off ACNC’s Conewango Blend birdseed retail prices. Nature Center Members receive 30% off retail Conewango Blend birdseed retail prices.
As a birdseed purchaser, you can also get 10% off all Blue Heron Gift Shop purchases when you pick up your order on Saturday, October 15.
The most popular seeds and mixes are available for you to stock up for the rest of fall and into winter.
Conewango Blend, unique to ACNC, was developed to attract favorite and common fall species of the region such as chickadees, cardinals, and titmice. There are also suet cakes for woodpeckers and a mix to attract finches.
To place your order, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours, stop by the Nature Center, use the printable order form or order online at AudubonCNC.org/shop.
When you pick up your purchase between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, volunteers will cheerfully load the fresh seed, direct from the supplier, right into your trunk. Call (716) 569-2345 ahead of time if you cannot pick up your order then.
