Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) provides birdseed at a discounted rate at sales twice a year. 

Friday, January 28, 2022, is the deadline for ordering birdseed and related treats from ACNC’s Winter Birdseed Sale, providing value for you and supporting Audubon.

The most popular seeds and mixes are available for you to stock up for the rest of winter and into spring. Conewango Blend, unique to Audubon, was developed to attract favorite and common winter 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, stop by the Nature Center, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours, or go to AudubonCNC.org/Shop. Save 20 percent on Audubon’s Conewango Blend Birdseed prices by ordering through this sale.

Members receive an additional 10 percent discount on birdseed purchases.

Pick-up at Audubon is Saturday, February 12, between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. You won’t even have to get out of your car, as 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.

As an additional bonus, wear your face covering and come into the Blue Heron Gift Shop that day and receive a 10 percent discount on all merchandise, including a wide assortment of bird feeders and bird houses.
