The beauty of Annapolis isn’t just in its navy waters and friendly people–Annapolis shines thanks to its initiative to better the environment. Of course, there are volunteer opportunities, but when those become old hat, purchasing green items to improve the environment is warranted. That is why the folks at Wild Bird Center of Annapolis at 1410 Forest Drive, Suite 11, offer an array of environmentally friendly products, but also supply rewards for those who purchase to help the Earth. The “Birdie Bucks Rewards” awards faithful customers with $10 via mail to spend in the store, once the purchases reach a certain amount. When you shop, you receive Birdie Bucks points which eventually lead to money to spend in the store. There is no limit to the Birdie Bucks received.
To accompany the Birdie Bucks, Wild Bird Center of Annapolis features a free bird feeder program. A range of feeders for a range of birds is offered. There are some conditions to program–visit the store, call 410-280-1545, or head to http://wildbird.com/franchises/wild-bird-center-of-annapolis.com for more.

Your old feeder will be cleaned up and given to a non-profit organization or school in the area.
