Birds of a
Feather Flock to
Local Retailer
One of the nice things about living
in the Hollywood Riviera is the wide
variety of birds in our area, including
the house finch, goldfinch, sparrow,
towhee, scrub-jay, phoebe,
mockingbird, hummingbird and more.
If you want to draw more of these
feathered friends to your backyard,
you can find a variety of ways to do so
at nearby retailer, Wild Birds
Unlimited.
You may be familiar with Wild

Boulevard at Pacific Coast Highway.
But as of June, the store is now
located nearby in the shopping plaza
at Pacific Coast Highway and
Prospect.
Owned by Bob Shanman, an avid
birder himself, Wild Birds Unlimited
sells birdseed, feeders including
hummingbird feeders, bird baths,
garden décor, nature gifts and more.

feast).
One of the advantages of buying
birdseed from a specialty retailer is
that it is geared to local birds, which
is probably why our new feeder
draws such a crowd (we often have
10 or more birds on the feeder at the
same time lining up for their turn).
Bob often has 15-20 feeders going at
one time, attracting hundreds of
birds to his yard.
“Along with food, moving water –
such as a small fountain – is critical
to attracting birds,” says Bob. “Birds
rely on sight and sound, so if they
can see and hear babbling water they
will be drawn to it. Placing the
fountain near the feeder is also
helpful.” Direct: 310 892‐6016

Hi Igor, Factor giſt
I have searched for the exact words that I could use to describe card:
just how much Stephanie and I have come to appreciate you, more
than a real estate agent. They are too numerous and would lack the
Shirley
genuine sincerity we have for how we feel about you as a man.
Suffice it to say, that you have become a friend, confidant and

more. We could always rely on you no matter the need; things the
average Realtor would hardly think of doing, yet you actually do
them. So much so, that we never considered having anyone else
when it came to meeting our real estate needs.
TEAM IGOR
You not only are an expert of your craft, but your compassion is
real and is a quality that is rare in today’s world. We have always
felt that way from our first encounter with you, and although Stepha-
nie is gone, she would attest to the same thoughts.
As dark at the last year has been, you remain a bright spot
through it all. You are a kind and sincere friend, and will always re-
main in my thoughts and prayers ‘til the day I die. Please keep in
touch and keep those real estate newsletters coming; I look forward
to reading your wise advice and it serves as a reminder of why you
have been such an important part of our lives.
May you continue to enjoy success in all aspects of your life. If
there is ever anything I can do for you, I will always be available to
you. God bless you and your family. It’s an honor to call you friend. My team of professionals is
