This is not a safe place for people of color. Walked in and instantly was told we had to leave items at the counter. The man in the store watched me and my partner as if we were going to steal something. We can more than afford anything in that place and to be made to feel uncomfortable for the few minutes we were even in the store is unacceptable. I should’ve read the reviews because clearly another woman of color felt the same vibe. Will never visit this store again.

This is a wonderful little store. I've been shopping here for 15+ years, mostly to buy bird feeding supplies, but also books, puzzles, cards, etc. They have the best selection of products for birds, plus a wide variety of nature-related gifts and other merchandise. They pack a lot into a small space. The staff is always friendly and helpful, ready to offer good advice and to carry my bags of seed to my car, and I've often swapped bird sightings with the owners. I appreciated how they found ways to stay open safely during the pandemic, with clearly stated policies, pre-ordering, and contact-free pickups.

This is a fabulous place with so much variety. I recently visited after a long absence and was amazed by all the wonderful products. Even better, their prices are very reasonable, which is extremely nice to see in a time of rampant inflation. I will be back much sooner for my next visit. It's worth the drive from Rockville.

Very neat and clean shop with interesting and unusual bird/nature related things as well as a nice selection of birdseed. The only minus for me was that it was a little pricey.

You want birds in your backyard this is the place. Literally the place to go to learn how to attract birds. My kids buy the rocks. Lots of other random stuff for gifts. Amazing local business to support too!

Absolutely amazing! This is where I bought my first birdhouse as a child. I moved out of olney 10 years ago, but was back in town for my bridal shower. My fiancé and I wanted to find a small gift for each of his grandmothers as we were asking them to be our flower fairies for our wedding. I believe the owner helped us, she was a delight. She pointed out so many adorable gifts - from the least expensive to the most. We decided on potholders made in Hagerstown. One each with our wedding flower and one each with their favorite birds. His grandmothers loved them! Thank you so much!

Stopped in for a couple bag of seed, a new feeder and a shepherds hook. Older man was not so kind, young cashier was very nice. They had four signs demanding a that customer wear a mask, so I opted for 1 over priced bag of seed. I'll take my money to business' who don't mask their customers.
