Press Release for Backyard LifeStyles, Inc.

Press Release


Unlike most pet retailers, BackyardDecorativeBirdhouses.com serves a specific purpose: to help people spice up their backyards and gardens by bringing in beautiful birds. The year-and-a-half old site has a unique selection, as well as a brand new blog.


Hebron, OH (PRWEB) November 27, 2008 -- When Donald and Laura Slater started with a simple goal on improving his farm, who knew it would lead to the driving force for developing his own businesses?


"We've always been interested in making our yard look better," began Donald Slater. "We live on an 80-acre farm and I feel like we have our own paradise."


We live on an 80-acre farm and I feel like we have our own paradise.

In 2007, the Slaters started up their own company and one of the focuses they have are birdhouses. Having launched in May 2007, www.BackyardDecorativeBirdhouses.com features a host of beautifully crafted birdhouses and birdfeeders, which can be a crucial piece for anyone with a backyard - big or small.


Offering competitive pricing and having a unique catalog, BackyardDecorativeBirdhouses.com is miles ahead of their competition in big box retailers. The site offers a brand of eco-friendly birdhouses.


"One of the brands we carry, Barnwood, makes their birdhouses from recycled barn wood," explained Slater. "It's a very neat and environmentally sound concept."


Slater enjoys Barnwood enough to have a few specials available with the purchase of them.


Alongside his unique products, Slater has recently launched a new blog, www.IdeasForYourBackyard.com. "It will have some very broad information about birds, such as how to care for a bird, how to start bird watching and how to care for your birdhouses and birdfeeders," he said.


As the site continues to grow and evolve, Slater intends to add more birdhouses and feeders to his catalog: "We're always looking for new suppliers." And though styles may change, one thing that will never stop being chic is the care of a beautiful backyard. This is a fact that Donald Slater is attuned to, after all, it's part of his upbringing.


"My father was a botanist," Slater said. "He was always bird watching and he always had birdhouses. It's the reason why we got into this type of business."

Winter night in 2008,

On a cold winter night in 2008,the backyard was quiet, and that‘s great.
The bird houses were hung in the trees with great care,
in hopes that our friends would stay warm again this year.
The birds were nestled all snug in their huts,
with visions of full feeders, even cracked nuts.
Mama in her nightgown, and I in my shorts,
had just settled our down to watch a show of some sort.
When out in the backyard, we heard the birds singing,
I jumped from the couch to see what was happening.
Away to the doorway I tripped and I stumbled,
threw open the door, and just started to mumble.
The moon on the KOI pond showed the new-fallen snow,
so bright was the lighted pathway, showing stepping stones aglow.
My eyes went to a statue, standing tall and so proud,when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a chimenea with a warm fires glow.
On the limb of the hawthorn, a chickadee appeared,He was on a mission, there was no doubt.He whistled and screeched, then flew all about
"Now Cardinal! Now Swallow!
Now, Finch and Barn Owl!
Come Woodpecker! Come, Martin!
Come Blue Birds, come all!
To the feeders on the table!
To the feeders on the lawn!There are even sunflower seeds all over the ground!”
The birds were all singing and eating some thistle,While others at the pond were wetting their whistle,
When all the seed was gone they flew to their houses,Staying warm through the night they like their birdhouses.
Tomorrow I will feed them again, and all through the winter!Our birds are like family, we love them around.Singing and whistling their own unique sounds.Keep your friends feed, and treat them like family,Next year they’ll be back and you’ll be there envy!
"Warm Winter to all, and to all a good night!"
