Chirp for Change

Chirp Nature Center is Big Bear's local birding authority. Guests can learn all about the valley's native and migrating birds from season to season, join guided bird watching tours, and shop the best birding supplies.

Options for Plastic Free Birding

As you can imagine, Chirp sells a multitude of feeders, bird houses, and other birding supplies to encourage and support a healthy bird population in our valley. However, not all birding supplies are equal.

While certain plastic products are available for purchase, Chirp encourages customers to shy away from the polycarbonate options and opt for the glass, metal, and recycled plastic feeders and houses.

Glass and Metal goods last longer and weather the Big Bear seasons far better than the polycarbonate products, meaning they need to be replaced less often. While the Recycled Plastic options are still plastic, they are manufactured to be much more durable than the thinner polycarbonate products.

Clean & Green

Chirp is proud to now be offering organic household items. Shoppers can browse a host of goods like toothpaste, laundry detergent, shampoo and conditioner, and other items all with a unique twist - there are no disposable containers!

All items are 'fill your own container' or guests can purchase their own reusable container from the store.

Many items are camping friendly as product ingredients are plant-based and environmentally safe. See the toothpaste tablets, body washes, shampoo and conditioner bars and other personal hygiene products.

Each product sold displays the manufacturer name so you can get to know each company and how they're tackling their sustainability mission.
