About Us

The New England Wild Bird Food Company is a division of United Cooperative Farmers, a feed manufacturing cooperative formed in 1927. We package wild bird food in our Guilderland, New York facility. Our customers pay less because we bring most of our ingredients in by rail, allowing us to transport our finished product a shorter distance.

We package seed for many private label customers including Massachusetts Audubon. We have two primary branded lines. Our NEWBird line is sold to the grocery industry and our North Eastern's Finest line is sold to Pet, Feed, Lawn & Garden, and Birding Specialty stores. All of our products are formulated to include ingredients favored by birds that inhabit or visit the Northeast. We work closely with the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology to help ensure the success of our products.

 
Our business has grown rapidly because of our commitment to quality ingredients, exceptionally clean blends, and our focus on customer satisfaction. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the near future.
Cornell Lab of Ornithology


The New England Wild Bird Food Company is a supporter and sponsor of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. We think their efforts in the area of ecology, conservation and education benefit all of us who enjoy the beauty of wild birds and their habitats. We also benefit from their expertise when we formulate our products, particularly our blends.

Cornell Feeder Watchers periodically count the numbers and kinds of birds that visit their feeders throughout the winter and send their observations to the Lab, for science and conservation. To sign up for FeederWatch or to learn more about the project and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, call (800) 843-2473 or visit the Lab's web site at http://birds.cornell.edu.
