Greetings Feeders!

On behalf of the Dr. JB’s Hummingbird Products family, I’ll say welcome to our new blog, our first blog entry, and hopefully a brave new discussion of hummers.

First, an introduction. I’m Chris — one son of Jay Whelan (Dr. Jay Whelan, M.D., also known as Jay Bird, and therefore also known as Dr. JB.). My sister, Anne Hawkins, also joins us in this family business, as does my brother, Joe Whelan, M.D. , and Dad’s cousin, Terry Thomas.

Like you, we’re busying ourselves during the winter whilst we wait for the hummers’ return. For us, this means all the stuff of being a new business. We’re getting our hummingbird feeder products ready and splashing on into the pool of e-commerce. Anne and Terry were at the big bird show in Atlanta earlier this month, which they said was a great success … good feedback on our products, a lot of people to meet, lots of talk of the birds, etc.

We family members will take our turns at these entries, ideally on a weekly basis, and we’ll try to introduce a topic for discussion each week. For now, I invite you to leave comments for us on this blog page — hummingbird questions you would like answered, or suggestions of other sites and blogs for linking, or anything of interest to the world of hummingbirds. Let’s see where next week takes us!

 Happy Feeding!

Chris Whelan
