31. How to create a bird haven in your yard -- with Ron Mills

On this episode of Mother Daughter EarthCast, we chat with Ron Mills, the owner of the East Dallas location of Wild Birds Unlimited. Wild Birds Unlimited is the original and largest franchise system of backyard bird feeding and nature specialty stores with more than 300 locations throughout the United States and Canada. They specialize in bringing people and nature together with bird feeding and nature products, expert advice and educational events.  

Ron is incredibly knowledgeable about birds and definitely the biggest bird enthusiast we've ever chatted with. In our conversation with him, we dive deep into the benefits of providing food, water, and shelter for birds in your yard (his answer might surprise you!), what are some simple first steps you can take to start creating a bird haven, what you need to know about the different kinds of bird food, and more!  

Join us on Patreon for our bonus episode with Ron where breaks down what an at-home bird consultation looks like and what his top tips are to create an environment that's conducive to bird watching. My mom had one of his consultations, so we can attest that he's the best!
