Wild Wings slo­gan: We can help you make your back yard come alive!

My friends Tom and Jamie recently took me to a killer store: Wild Wings. It’s their source for some pretty exotic bird seed. Started by part­ners Bon­nie and Scott a year ago, Wild Wings is a beau­ti­fully designed and thought­ful store. “Scott has loved birds his entire life” reveals Bon­nie. “We wanted a busi­ness that would recon­nect peo­ple to nature.” They also focus on chil­dren, hop­ing to inspire them to go out­side instead of being glued to their elec­tron­ics. “Kids espe­cially enjoy our but­ter­fly habi­tat” Bon­nie says. “We also carry frog and ant habi­tats.” They are very knowl­edgable about ways to attract all sorts of wildlife to your city back­yard. Other offer­ings include :

• cus­tom blended bird seed
• bird feed­ers, houses and baths
• toys, unique gifts and gar­den accents
• field trail guides and books

We are so lucky to have this store in SoCal! They are located at 4337 Wood­man Avenue in Sher­man Oaks (91423) near Ven­tura Blvd with easy park­ing in the back. Phone @ 818−995−0022. Hours are Tues — Fri­day 10 — 6, Sat 10 — 5, Sun 12 — 4, closed Mon­day. www​.Wild​wingsLA​.com.
