Amanda and Hector Bustillos are the owners of Wild Birds Unlimited of Dripping Springs, where they've turned a passion for nature into one of the Hill Country's favorite local businesses. Born and raised in Dripping Springs, Amanda grew up feeding birds with her family, while Hector, a former teacher, brings his love of education to helping customers create thriving backyard habitats. Together, they've built a business that's as much about conservation and community as it is bird feeders and seed. Their family-owned store has earned a reputation for exceptional customer service, expert advice, and a commitment to protecting songbirds and connecting people with nature. Whether they're helping first-time birdwatchers identify a backyard visitor or educating the community about bird conservation, Amanda and Hector have become trusted ambassadors for the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country.
