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.”

Hello!
When I opened our first Wild Bird Center store in 1985, we could only imagine how many people would share our love for wild birds and for the business that since has developed to serve thousands of customers every day as a growing retail bird supplier. Since that time, interest in this exciting pastime has soared, and birdwatchers across the U.S. and Canada have found that they can expect quality products and sound advice from our growing family of stores. Whether you're a customer or a future Franchisee, myself, our storeowners and staff have done our very best to provide you with the most useful and important information possible as a premier retail bird supplier. We are extremely proud of everyone in our company and we know you will enjoy this visit with the Wild Bird Centers.
