My wife and I walked into this store having no real idea on what we needed; we only knew we wanted to feed birds at our new house.Erich was so down to earth, patient, and overall helpful with us that I would give him and his store 10 stars if I could.We now have what we think is a pretty awesome set up and have Erich to thank for it.

Went in to xmas shop for bird feeders. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We end up purchasing what I would say are higher end qualilty items.

The staff is so knowledgeable. I started knowing nothing and now know so much and attract so many beautiful birds. Although there are so many places to buy cheap feed, their food is high quality and the birds respond immediately when replenishing because it's so much better for them! I have become a successful avid bird watcher hands down because of this shop and resources!

Staff member was insanely knowledgeable, pleasant, and didn't push unnecessary sales on us! It was very clear he knew his stuff and recommended us various strategies and told us how birds need to learn an area has a feeder, and when various birds would start showing up. Huge respect for a man who knows his craft well, I will always be shopping here over online to keep such a unique great store around.

This place is so great. I use to have to go all the way to the back of the home depot only to haul low quality bags of seeds that the birds didn't even like home! Eric is so knowledgeable and helpful. Not only do I have less seed being wasted but the birds I am attracting to my home are more beautiful than ever before. I would highly recommend flying friends to ALL of my friends.

5/5!! Erik, the owner, was extremely helping/ friendly. He had the best opinions! This was my first time purchasing bird paraphernalia. He helped me decide on the highest quality flagon of seed. Can’t wait to see the birds flocking outside. I’m a fan for life. Thanks again!

Erich, owner of Flying Friends just started a new sale for the year. I love their mix of 20lb high quality seeds and nuts with no waste. He was able to mix the seeds for my special request with other mixes that no other store could ever do.they have great selection of feeders. Highly recommend his shop if you like to feed amazing birds as I do in the backyard. Erich is also very knowledgeable and gave me gteat ideas for feeding newly hatched birds this past summer.

We love going to Flying Friends for all of our wild bird products. We have purchased three feeders there, and buy all of our seed there. We get a beautiful variety of birds, and Flying Friends always gives us good advice on how to attract them.

My finches are crazy for Flying Friends' finch food. They completely ignored the feeder until I got nyjer from this store. Very high quality and especially right now, I'm extremely grateful for the free local delivery.

Very nice experience, the owner was working and he is very knowledgeable about birds and very friendly. We ended up buying a nice big Bird feeder and pole to add to the backyard. It was a birthday present for my wife.

Small, but well stocked wild bird shop. They were very helpful with helping me find what I needed and provided tips to be successful with my feeders. I will be back.

Lots of different bird feeders, bird baths, and of course bird feed. The seed is a little pricey but it seems like good quality. The only problem is that the seed I purchased clumps horribly if it gets wet.

The guy thats running the register is an attorney of bird law. Seriously though, he really knows which birds like which foods and can help you bring in the birds you want to see at your feeder.
