Meet Our Owners

Sally Litvin opened her first Wild Bird Center in Reading, PA in March 1998. She has since opened a second in Wayne, PA and has become a top sales earner in the franchise. Now running the operation with the help of her son, Jason Blaker, Sally is a consistent performer and has been an inspiration to new franchisees. She has this to say about the business:

“I opened my first Wild Bird Center about 10 years ago and enjoyed it so much I opened up a second one about 5 years later and I just enjoy waking up in the morning and going to work. It’s exciting!”
