Bird Feeders and Food ─ Providing a Safe and Welcoming Habitat in Your Backyard

Fifty million people in North America feed birds in an effort to attract them to their yards and help sustain populations. But feeders and food are not ?one size fits all”? not all species are attracted to the same feeder designs and foods. This guide illustrates which feeders and food types should be chosen to successfully attract birds to backyard habitats as well as which species to expect. Also included are tips for feeder placement, how to provide grit, and the importance of water sources. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this guide supports continued educational activities by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Made in the USA.
