Wild Birds Unlimited store, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Wild Birds Unlimited is a retail store that specializes in bird seed, bird feeders, and many other bird feeding supplies. Jim Carpenter opened the first Wild Birds Unlimited store in 1981 in Indianapolis, Indiana. By 1983, Carpenter started franchising his concept.[1] Carpenter is also the author of The Joy of Bird Feeding: The Essential Guide to Attracting and Feeding Our Backyard Birds published in 2017 by Scott & Nix, Inc. Wild Birds Unlimited has grown to over 300 stores across the United States and Canada.[2]

The company provides the products and services that help people bring birds into their backyards. The company works directly with well-known organizations such as the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,[3] Audubon Society,[4] National Wildlife Federation,[5] and the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation [6] to preserve wildlife habitat and educate people about wild birds.
