Introducing PROJECT WILDBIRD®

Head over to projectwildbird.net today and discover how expert guidance can transform your bird feeding experience!

Discover Tranquility in Winter Wings for a Calmer Mind

​Birds make us feel better. Plain and simple. In fact, several recent studies prove that bird feeding and bird watching help lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. And with mental illness on the rise, reconnecting with nature is just what the doctor ordered.

Help Bird Populations

Over recent history, birds have perished at an alarming rate. In fact, more than 1 in 4 birds has disappeared since 1970. This is scary since birds keep nature’s ecosystems in check.

Want to help? Start by buying a bird feeder, and support the declining population by feeding the birds. You can also become a citizen scientist and participate in projects like the Great Backyard Bird Count.

Buy Into the Benefits

Support your local stores! Find feed, feeders, houses, and all other birding needs right in your area. Some products to help you get started include:

  • Attract - With a good bird feeder
