Heritage & History
Birds Choice was founded in 1987 in Chilton, Wisconsin, in the heart of the Great Lakes region where backyard birding is deeply embedded in the outdoor recreation culture. The company built its product line around a specific material: recycled plastic lumber made from post-consumer plastics — milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other HDPE containers — that are collected, processed, and extruded into boards and shapes that can be worked like wood but never rot, splinter, or require painting.
The Chilton, Wisconsin manufacturing operation has been using recycled plastic lumber since before environmental sustainability was a marketing category — the material choice was driven by the practical advantages of maintenance-free durability and the straightforward logic of keeping functional material out of landfills. A cedar bird feeder requires periodic painting or sealing and eventually rots; a Birds Choice recycled plastic feeder, given normal use, lasts indefinitely and requires only occasional washing.
Made in Chilton, Wisconsin
Birds Choice's Chilton, Wisconsin facility cuts, assembles, and finishes the full line of bird feeders, bird houses, bird baths, and feeder accessories. The tube feeders use recycled plastic housing with metal ports that resist squirrel damage — a failure point on cheaper feeders where squirrels gnaw through plastic to reach seed. The hopper feeders use the same recycled plastic construction in a traditional-looking design that blends with garden aesthetics while providing weather protection for the seed supply.
Bird houses are sized to specific species based on entrance hole diameter, floor dimensions, and mounting height — specifications that determine whether a cavity-nesting bird will actually use the box. The purple martin house is the most ambitious product: a multi-unit house designed for the communal nesting behavior of North America's largest swallow, with individual compartments sized and arranged to attract martin colonies. Wisconsin manufacturing ensures quality control and supports the regional backyard birding market from the Great Lakes to both coasts.
