Welcome to Wild Birds Unlimited!

HPED is pleased to welcome Wild Birds Unlimited, which opened in February in the Manoa Shopping Center next to Staples!

The store will offer a variety of bird seed blends, suet, bird feeders, bird houses, bird baths, books and gift items.

Wild Birds Unlimited Owner Ben Labowitz grew up in Mount Airy and Elkins Park but now lives in Wynnewood. Ben has an MBA in Marketing from Drexel and a background in market research and analysis.

"This is a career change for me," explains Labowitz. "I wanted to run a small business that I could feel good about. I like the way that my store brings people and nature together."

Ben was interested in opening a store near his home in Wynnewood, and selected Havertown because of the demographics and population density.

Wild Birds Unlimited will be hosting events once or twice a month: bird walks and speakers on topics such as hummingbirds, photography of birds, creating a bird-friendly garden.

What is HPED?

HPED has been working on behalf of our business districts since its inception in 2010. From business district beautification projects to business networking events, from public information sessions on new development to presentations to the Board of Commissioners to request project funding, our goals have been the same - to foster the development, breadth and growth of our business districts while maintaining and enhancing the inherent charm of our community.
