SUMMARY:Wild Bird Feeding Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Wild Bird Feeding Seminar by Josh Stasik\, Wild Bird Director of Aspen Song and President of the Wild Bird Feeding Institute Research Foundation. This event takes place in the Wilson Farm Garden shop starting at 10 am on February 1st.\n\nMeet Josh and learn about feeding the birds in your backyard including common bird food & feeder types\, which backyard birds can be attracted to your feeders\, and more!\n\nPLUS\, specials on bird feed (and chances to win giveaways)!\n\nAbout the Seminar:\n\nThis 1hr – 1.5hr wild bird feeding seminar will cover the most common bird food and feeder types\, as well as which backyard birds can be attracted to your feeders. Our seed-feeding discussion will cover all the different Aspen Song branded wild bird feed blends and the ingredients that are used in each of the blends\, making each a unique choice based on which types of birds a consumer is interested in attracting. We will also talk about hummingbird feeding using the Sweet-Nectar branded hummingbird nectar\, how to attract hummingbirds\, and appropriate feeder placement during the summer months. While this seminar is focused on the Aspen Song wild bird food and Sweet-Nectar branded hummingbird nectar\, the knowledge about seed\, nectar\, and feeder preferences of common backyard birds can be applied to any brand and any backyard!\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nJosh Stasik holds a B.S. in Biology from SUNY Cortland in Cortland\, NY\, and is currently the President of the Wild Bird Feeding Institute’s (WBFI) Research Foundation. He has held previous positions on the Montezuma Audubon Center’s Advisory Board in Central\, NY as well as a seat on the board of directors for the Skaneateles Early Childhood Center in Skaneateles\, NY.Josh has been feeding his backyard birds since childhood and has worked in the wild bird food industry for the past decade. Taking the approach of “never working a day in your life if you love what you do\,” he partnered with a few of his friends to create a small “micro-batch” bird food company called Sweet-Seed\, LLC. Sweet-Seed initially created wild bird food blends sold to local gift shops and markets but has since switched focus to concentrate primarily on a unique\, all-natural\, hummingbird food\, branded as Sweet-Nectar.\n\nIt was through the connections made selling Sweet-Nectar that Josh became acquainted with the Aspen Song brand of wild bird food and moved into the wild bird director position for the brand. As the key contact for all sales and marketing initiatives\, Josh is now able to travel throughout the Northeastern territory of the US not only sharing his knowledge but also learning from other bird enthusiasts he meets along the way.
