The Complete Guide to Backyard Birding & Feeders

Bring wild birds to your window, and keep them safe while they visit. This complete guide shows you which foods bring which birds, where to hang feeders so birds miss the glass, and how to keep feeders and birdbaths clean so your yard helps birds instead of spreading disease.

Ten clear chapters cover backyard birding basics; choosing feeders; seeds, suet and other foods; placing feeders; water and birdbaths; keeping feeders clean; windows, cats and other hazards; squirrels, bears and unwanted guests; hummingbirds and nectar feeders; and watching, recording and year-round care. A full FAQ and glossary round it out.

It is a clickable guide you can keep on your phone, tablet or computer, with free updates for life. Three printables come with it: a Feeder Placement Card, a Feeder Cleaning Checklist and a Backyard Bird Log.

Digital download. You receive a zip file with the guide (opens in any web browser) and three printable PDFs. Guide text written with AI assistance from the author's outline and technical direction, edited and finalized by Niche & Nuance Studio.
