about us
- Cole's Wild Bird Products Company is a true "mom and pop" success story. Back in the early 1980's, Richard and Nancy Cole started feeding experiments in their backyard because the "birdseed in a bucket" they bought at the grocery store wasn't attracting the beautiful songbirds they wanted to see. They devoted hours upon hours researching the dietary needs of their feathered friends to find just the right combination of ingredients that would bring the most birds to their bird feeders. Neighbors started noticing the increased bird activity in the Cole's yard and came knocking for the secret. Soon the first dreams of an entrepreneurial business were born.
- They would mix and bag their own seed in the garage at night after work and deliver it to neighbors and local stores on the weekends. A few years later Richard's daughter, Elaine, joined the family enterprise.

I have tried all sorts of measures from live traps to paintball and many things in between ;^) Many a time I have come out blasting with a full auto paintball gun, stitching a stream of yellow splats all the way up the tree. Never seemed to hit one as they are little speed demons but they get the message. Of course they were back the next day. Really glad I found this stuff because my next deterrent was to line the tree around the feeder with an electric fence track that the birds couldn’t land on.
But after mixing in this hot stuff in with the regular sunflower hearts at about a 1:3 ratio, it is no longer an issue of the cute little bushy tail tree rats emptying the feeder. The birds don't notice the capsaicin, but the squirrels and chipmunks sure do! Every few days a new furry little f(r)iend will be picking up seed on the ground below the feeder and you definitely know when they get a hot one. Takes a few moments but they shake their head and then realize there is somewhere else they need to be. Probably the closest watering hole.
Storage and Handling - You have to be careful with this stuff. I never had the courage to pop a whole seed in my mouth, but I did touch a corner of the plastic bag with some of the dust to the tip of my tongue. No smell, just heat that lasted for well over an hour - just from the residue! Good Stuff! I store it and the regular sunflower hearts in 2 gal pales with lids plus a desiccant pack to keep everything fresh. Always wash hands after handling. I too have gotten a whiff of the dust and it does set your nose to run a bit. But that means that is works. Wouldn’t want to get it in my eyes, that’s for sure.
The stuff isn't cheap, but it sure does work.
