WBU Podcast

Ever wonder what it really takes to bring owls to your yard? Brian is joined by Jim Carpenter, Founder, President and CEO of Wild Birds Unlimited, who’s hosted nesting owls for nearly 30 years, to explain why habitat matters more than a nest box. They cover the diet and behavior of owls, plus how native trees, water, brush piles, and skipping rodenticides can make any yard owl-friendly. Learn to recognize their calls and live alongside these remarkable backyard predators.
