Welcome To Tom's!

We’re glad you’re here and we hope you will explore our site. In addition to our Bird Feeders, Birding Supplies and our Reptile Supply Store, we would like to share useful information about Wild Birds and Reptiles. We are professional wildlife biologists (you can read more About Us), so we love to talk about attracting birds, finding wild reptiles and caring for your pet reptiles.   

Find out more about wild birds and what’s coming to our bird feeders, or what is happening in the reptile world in our journal (blog).  Learn how to pick the right bird feeder, or ways to enhance your birding experience in our Bird Tips, and don’t forget to check out our Reptile Tips to keep your reptile healthy or learn about snake tongs and hooks. We also have information about birding and wildlife viewing in Portal, Arizona, our home town, which just happens to be one of the premiere birding and wildlife areas in Arizona.  Be sure to download our free Birding in Portal map if you’re planning on visiting our town.

Our store has two departments, one for birds one for and reptiles. Click on either of the buttons below to go to the section of the store that you’re interested in.

Bird Feeders & Supplies The full line of wild bird feeders, nature themed gifts, bird baths, and bird houses offered in our bird store will enhance your enjoyment of wild birds, and bring more species to your yard. We will help you choose the right bird feeder because we know how to attract birds, whether it is a hummingbird feeder that doesn’t spill in the wind or thistle feeders for the finches or perhaps a suet feeder that discourages starlings.   Our products were chosen by our research as ornithologists, in our yard, and in the yards of other bird experts.	Reptile Supplies When using snake tongs and snake hooks safety counts, so, quality counts.  That is why we offer a full line of top quality, professional snake tongs and snake hooks by Midwest. We can also provide you with Zoo Med reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate supplies.  Let’s be honest, you want to be able to care for your pet in the best way possible. These are top quality reptile foods, reptile medications and supplements and reptile supplies. We can help the novice just getting into herptoculture or the experienced herptoculturist.
Best 1 Hummingbird Feeders are our favorite hummingbird feeder. You can see one of the reasons. Check our helpful hints to learn more reasons.	Collapsible Gentle Giant Tongs are Easy to Take on your Travels and Helps With Heavy-bodied or Nervous Snakes.
We have tested our products in the hot Arizona sun and the cold South Dakota winters. Our line of bird feeders and other products will stand up to both extremes. Our birdfeeders, many with lifetime guarantees, and other products can fill any requirement you may have to make your yard a backyard bird habitat. Once your yard is perfect, why not celebrate by posting a metal all weather wildlife sanctuary sign? Or, pick out that perfect coffee mug to help brighten your mornings.  Why not share your interest in birds and inspire others by giving the perfect nature gift to your family and friends?	Now that you have everything you could possibly need to enjoy reptiles and amphibians, why not show that your head is into reptiles and invertebrates by finding the perfect cap to wear? These caps have an embroidered design to insure long wear and an adjustable buckle so they will fit most people. Perhaps you would like to announce to the world (or warn some silly people who don’t know the pleasures of reptiles) that reptiles have the right of way by adding a reptile crossing sign to your house?  Add a coffee mug to start your morning right and you are our kind of herp nut!
