Meet Our Owners
John & Sue Sala began their career as a Wild Bird Center franchisee in April 2003 when they purchased the Timonium, MD Wild Bird Center franchise operation. Since then they have become multiple store owners and are excellent at employing the Wild Bird Center system to their best advantage. When asked how they chose Wild Bird Centers, they say:
“Before buying a Wild Bird Center franchise we talked with as many owners as possible so we were well informed about our decision. Once of the best experiences running this business is the help and support from franchise headquarters.”
Other Programs
Community Group Programs
Store owners are often invited to give presentations to community organizations. These programs are ideal for gardening groups, luncheon meeting groups, civic organizations, and senior citizens' clubs. Here are two examples of the types of community programs offered:
Introduction to Backyard Birding
This slide program introduces common neighborhood birds and describes ways to meet their four basic needs. It may also include a discussion of bird feeding methods.
Retirement Home Programs
If you have a parent or a friend in a retirement community or nursing home, you may want to sponsor a bird viewing station. We'll help you select the right feeder and location within viewing range of the home, or perhaps recommend a suitable window feeder. After installing the feeder, we can provide a presentation to help residents enjoy the birds they will attract.
