Your first feathered visitor to your bird feeder is a special exhilarating experience. This feeling does not end after the first visitor either, but continues with the second and third...
- The first one back from spring migration, every year.
- A new type of wild bird you have never seen before at your bird feeder (should I run for my bird identification book!) or just watch.
- Your first young family of finches having their first bath in your bird bath!
But be careful!
“Why be careful?” you ask?
Every wild bird feeder, bird house and birding accessory should come with the warning:
“Wild bird feeding can be addictive!”
Of course it’s not an “addiction” in the negative, destructive sense. It is a healthy, cherished and positive hobby. A pastime that enhances your life in so many ways. That has certainly been my experience. One that I am now passing on to anyone who will listen and eagerly sharing with you.
Why Am I Writing This Web Site on Wild Birds?
I would like to share with you what I've learned over thirty years of pursuing my passion.
My husband and I owned a backyard bird feeding store for a number of years. We learned a great deal from selling thousands of birding supply items.
There is a vast amount of equipment, books and other excellent products available.
There are many outstanding manufacturers and distributors in the birding industry. I'll pass on what I learned from that experience. About various products and what customers told me.
You may be looking for answers to some problems. It is my hope that you will find them here.
- √ What to look for in bird feeders?
- √ Squirrels, cats, raccoons and bears!*#?
- √ Large piles of uneaten seed under your feeder!
- √ Starlings and Blackbirds invading your yard, during migration seasons.
- √ How to attract the birds you want to see in your yard?
- √ How to keep bird feeders clean to prevent disease?
- √ What type of bird house should I put up?

I would also love to hear from you.
