    Feeding birds is growing in popularity and is enjoyed by over 50 million North Americans each year.

    Feed the Birds is designed as a resource for beginners and experienced birdwatchers alike.

A wide variety of feeders and seed types are presented with helpful tips on how to attract the largest variety of birds.

    Each profile for the 196 featured species includes a variety of photographs, an identification guide, a range map, information on bird seed and natural food preferences, and behavior. Other topics include:

    • Why feeding birds is important
    • Building do-it-yourself feeders
    • Foiling squirrels
    • Attracting birds with natural foods and water
    • Building shelters and nest boxes
    • Involving children
    • Photographing birds
    • Hand feeding
    • Recognizing individual birds and identifying similar-looking species
    • Growing plant varieties that make a garden attractive to birds.

    The book also contains information on how to choose the right seeds; the importance of ensuring all windows are bird-safe (with links to organizations that work to reduce bird-window collision); cat-friendly deterrents; and citizen science activities like the annual Christmas Bird Count and Project Feederwatch. Feed the Birds is a complete guide that should be near every bird enthusiast's window.
