Where it all Began

Founded by George Petrides Sr., the Wild Bird Center retail concept started in 1985 with a single store in Cabin John, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C. Now a leading national retail franchise, headquartered in Glen Echo, Md. and just one mile from the original store, our franchise system has grown to nearly 100 Wild Bird Center and Wild Bird Crossing stores serving communities and the birding hobby throughout the United States and Canada.

The Best of Business and Nature

With a franchise from the Wild Bird Centers of America, Inc., you will make a positive difference in your community, doing work you find meaningful and satisfying. You'll be your own boss and enjoy mixing business with your passion for birds and nature.

Whether you're a backyard birdwatcher or an experienced naturalist, you'll enjoy the rewards of teaching others more about the environment that surrounds us. We are here to help you take a professional, business-like approach to making your dream a reality.

Love What You do and Share it with Others

In addition to sharing your birding hobby with others, our stores are also excellent resources to educate your community about nature. At any Wild Bird Center store, customers can learn about local habitat, birding and many aspects of nature's wonders. Additionally, our company's recent corporate partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has opened unprecedented access to the leading birding research for all of our stores.
