Kaytee
Kaytee is a company based in Chilton, Wisconsin, United States. It is an international supplier of bird seed. ==History== Kaytee was formed in 1866 by William N. Knauf and Frank Tesch (K & T) as a feed mill which supplied seed to farmers. In 1920, the company became a national supplier of peas to be used for pigeon feed.〔 It expanded into making feed for birds and other small animals, becoming the first commercial supplier of wild bird seed in 1955.〔 William Engler Sr., long-term employee and son-in-law of William N. Knauf, purchased the company in 1964 and renamed it Kaytee Products, Inc. His son, Bill Engler Jr., took over the company in 1982. Bill Engler Jr. was named the Small Business Person of the Year in 1993 by United States President Bill Clinton.〔 As of 1993, Kaytee had 365 employees and annual sales of about $70 million.〔 At that time, it also held about 1300 exotic bird species in an aviary in Chilton.〔 Engler sold the company to Central Garden & Pet in 1997.〔 They renamed the company Central Avian & Small Animal and continued to market products under the Kaytee brand.〔
