NEW: Limited-Edition Fahlo Shark-Tracking Bracelets!

You may have noticed our super-cute Fahlo tracking bracelets in our store. Well, this year, Fahlo teamed up with Discovery™ SHARK WEEK™  (kicking off July 20th) to track real hammerhead sharks with all-new tracking bracelets: the Voyage Bracelet, hammerhead edition!

These bracelets:

  • The bracelets were created in partnership with Saving the Blue, an amazing nonprofit organization working to restore populations of threatened marine species—including hammerheads and many other sharks.
  • They feature three fresh colors and an exclusive charm.
  • Each bracelet follows a real hammerhead’s ocean voyage—you may even spot your shark in this year’s SHARK WEEK™ programming.

Get yours before they swim off… available for a limited time only!

Have You Tried Our Exclusive Cardinal Confetti™ Seed Blend Yet?

A visit from a Northern Cardinal always brightens the mood, and for many, cardinals are also a beautiful reminder of love, hope, and enduring bonds, signaling a visit from a departed loved one: “When cardinals appear, angels are near."

To help attract more of these beloved birds and help them thrive, we've created Cardinal Confetti Seed Blend with 8 of cardinals’ favorite ingredients, including high-fat seeds, Bark Butter® Bits, dried mealworms and peanuts.

  • This blend is rich in healthy fats, offering the energy cardinals need to fuel busy seasons of courting, nesting, and raising babies, AND endure long winter nights when those return.
  • The high-protein content supports feather development and molting for both adults and fledglings.
  • Getting enough fat and protein also promotes more vibrant color in your cardinals!
  • Bark Butter® Bits add a crucial boost of calcium to aid in egg production and strengthen bones.

Cardinal Confetti also attracts Pyrrhuloxia and a wide variety of other birds!
