It takes more than a bird bath to attract wild birds-you need to recognize their habits. Our experts are familiar with birds native to Iowa and the Midwest, so they can help create a yard that birds want to call home. Choosing the right feed and feeders to help entice wild birds to visit starts with knowing what kind of birds you'd like to see.
For instance, if you're interested in drawing larger birds to your yard, you'll need a sturdier feeder. Remember, Midwest winters can be harsh, so feeders should be built to withstand even the coldest winter weather. Learn more about the most common birds found in Iowa year round and tips on attracting them to your yard.

Our History
Report
In 1944, John W. Holt purchased Des Moines Feed Company, which got its start in the heart of Des Moines selling grains, straw, coal, and more. Six years later, the business invested in a hammer mill and feed mixer, which allowed for the production of feed to take place on the premises. Over the next several decades, Des Moines Feed Company would expand lines of bird feed offered, as well as our connections to the community.
