Meet Our Owners

John & Freddy Howell started the Wild Bird Center of Los Gatos, CA in October 1995. Freddy operated the store for the first few years while John continued with his employment. Once the store was running full-steam, John came in full-time. Now, 12 years later, their store is the consistent top performer in the franchise. Asked about Wild Bird Centers of America, Inc., they say:

“The idea of a Wild Bird Center matched our interest in birds and gave us the opportunity to give back to the community. Because we had no experience running a business, the franchise provided wisdom, guidance and experience that gave us confidence.”
