The Revolutionary Bird Feeder, Available on Amazon

1. It’s the Most-Convenient Bird Feeder You’ll Ever Own

You have far better things to do with your time than haul bulky bags of bird seed, fumble with funnels and scoops, and scrub bird poop off of perches. With our dual-patented feeder, ‘refilling’ and ‘cleaning’ become the same, instantaneous step.

Our Bird & Breakfast bird feeder uses our revolutionary easy-use En-Trays, which are basically “TV-dinners for birds.” The handy little bird seed trays allow you to ‘refill’ AND ‘clean’ simultaneously!

Just remove the film from the fresh seed tray, then use that film as a glove/cover to remove the old tray from the feeder. Then, holding the bottom of the feeder which has been shielded from the “poop” by the old tray, slide the clean, fresh En-Tray into the feeder.

BOOM! You’ve refilled your feeder and provided your cardinals with a fresh, clean feeding surface without any extra work for you.

CORRECTION: with less work for you overall, than just “refilling” a traditional bird feeder requires.

2.You Are Smart Enough to Know that Feeding Birds Isn’t ACTUALLY About the Birds

IT’S ABOUT YOU!  IF humans feed birds for the birds’ benefit, folks would buy more bird seed in the winter than in the spring. Our business cycle attests that most people feed birds when THEY most want to see birds, not when birds most “need” us to feed them.

So, why do people feed birds then? Because, it makes us happy! Feeding birds brings a small (but pure) joy that only interactions with nature can provide to the human soul. At a time when we are more “connected” than ever, we need daily opportunities, daily excuses, to set down our devices and remember that we are connected to something real.

Most people begin feeding birds because someone they love feeds birds. So, as much as bird feeders bridge the gap between humans and nature, they also remind us of a dear loved one who also enjoyed the simple pleasure of watching beautiful little birds.

Our simple Bird & Breakfast bird feeder keeps you focused on WHY you are feeding birds, instead of us pretentiously-pretending that you are in it for all of the bird-nerd rigmarole.

3. You Support Businesses Being Socially Responsible

Business should do things the right way. Often, they don’t. But they should. Here at Mr. Canary Company, our bird feeders do so much more than just feed birds. Much more than a paycheck, our feelings of confidence, independence and self-sufficiency are all wrapped up in work. Work gives us a way of contributing to the common good, something we’re all here to do.

Since 1995, our products have been produced by American workers with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. What is today known as a ‘social enterprise,’ was just a good business decision back when we started. It’s the foundation of our company and the cornerstone of an interdependent partnership that helps each organization reach their goals.

In contrast to the more typical social enterprise, ours isn’t built on charitable donations. Our model differs in that what we ‘give’ is respectable work opportunities to those who desire it, but have extraordinary difficulty finding it.

Disability touches most families in some way. Whether physical or emotional, permanent or temporary; whether you’re born with one or come home from a tour of duty with one, disabilities are a part of life. Regardless if some of us need a little more time to do our work…or medication…or extra breaks in the workday, we all want to contribute.

By pooling our resources, The Mr. Canary Company and The Arc of Greater Boone County in Lebanon, Indiana, help each other be successful. We believe individuals and communities are stronger when we encourage endeavor that allows each of us to contribute what we can, as we can.

The uncommonly dedicated leadership, from the Arc’s front-line support staff to their Board of Directors, makes our partnership a hardworking, mutually beneficial and truly joyful experience.

Working…together…propels each of us toward our goals; and in the bargain, draws us closer together as human beings.
