Backyard Birds opened in 2021 offering birding supplies from baths and houses, to feed and feeders, and has since began collaborating with other regional business owners to offer their creations as well.
This is a FREE event running from 11 AM to 4 PM in Leduc at 4905-50 Ave!
This huge event will play host to some of the best animal & wildlife rescues in the area, with a chance to adopt, donate, & find out about volunteering.
