Their selection of seed and suet is unrivalled in the area. A multitude of feeders are available, to dispense whatever protein you decide upon. Books and CDs on all subjects natural world will help you decide just exactly what you are watching or feeding. Janet, Jerry and the rest of the staff, are well-versed in their entire inventory.

Great spot for birding info and supplies. Did not know this shop was in Madison until I was driving by on my way to lunch with a friend. Shop is a bit small, but plenty to look at on the inside. Helpful staff too and very knowledgeable about the area and equipment for birding!

Absolutely SUPER! Great selection, saved me getting 'emergency' gifts on several occasions. Wide variety of feeders and houses from affordable to works of art I wish I could afford (but they are worth it). People often complain about the seed prices but the seed is CLEAN (no bugs worms or moths) and good quality. Friendly staff and the owner is Ultra Knowledgeable about things of the Birdy variety. I am a repeat customer and gosh-darned pleased at that!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff! We came in to buy harnesses for our binoculars, and not only did they offer to assemble it onto the binoculars for us, they also demonstrated on how to wear it and to adjust for the best fit! Best service ever!

Expert, friendly owners who do not push sales, but are more than happy to assist and answer questions. The selection of items for sale include bird-themed gifts like trinkets and cards, bird books, several different styles of hummingbird feeders, bird houses tiny to huge, professional level telescopes, and everything inbetween.The perfect place for bird watchers casual to pro, or for finding gifts for anyone of any age who loves birds.

I have been doing business with Jerry for around ten years. He is an outstanding birder and runs a great store. Anything to do with birding you will find at the Audubon Shop. I particularly like his premium seed mix. Mostly sunflower hearts with around 10-20% sunflower seeds in the shell. If you use this mix you won't have to reseed your lawn in the spring dues to the huge pile of sunflower seed shells killing your lawn!

We stopped into the Audobon Shop yesterday and what a wonderful experience! We traveled from Springfield after a snowstorm to get there and I am so glad we did! The owner was there and he was such a wealth of information! He spent about an hour assisting me with all the right things I would need to attract certain birds in my yard, and all the do's and dont's of becoming a bird watcher. I highly recommend a visit to this unique shop for all your "birding" needs! Christina M.

Oh my goodness i love this store. You first walk in to a bird sanctuary where all the bird feeders are set up so you get glimoses of wild birds feeding during the day. I saw morning doves black capped chickadees. Inside is state of the art binoculars, cute bird nic-nacks, all your bird loving needs.

This is the go to place for all birding needs. Get a 50 lb sack of safflower seed that squirrels won’t eat but that birds love. Ditto on the red pepper suet!

Best quality merchandise, shop owners are experts, most things are pretty reasonably priced, though sometimes at a premium. If you're serious birder, this is the place to go.
