# Backyard Chirper > where bird lovers roost! ## Posts - [Coveside Convertible Winter Roost](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-coveside-convertible-winter-roost/): With winter right around the corner, birds are increasingly in need of a place to roost when temperatures get low. If you have a nesting box, you’ve probably put it away for the next few months. If you have a roosting box, you might be taking it out of storage. With the Convertible Winter Roost from Coveside Conservation Products, you can provide a warm place for birds in the winter and a safe place for nesting in the spring all in one item. - [How to Winterize a Birdhouse](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-winterize-a-birdhouse/): Now that nesting season is over and temperatures are dipping quite a bit, it’s time to put away those birdhouses, right? Not exactly. Instead of putting away your birdhouses, convert them into winter roosting boxes. Winter is a tough time for birds and finding shelter is a tall task for many species; however, with a few modifications, you can provide your local birds with a place to stay when the weather gets rough. Clean it out and repair any damage The first and most important thing you should do is clean it out. You’ll want to completely remove all the nesting […] - [How to Attract Wild Turkeys](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-attract-wild-turkeys/): It’s that time of year when we take a moment to admire the great turkey. Even though our relationship with these interesting birds tends to be of the vulturine variety, many people enjoy having them visit their yards. Before we relay some tips for attracting wild turkeys to your property, it’s important to note that turkeys aren’t always the easiest guests. Wild turkeys can be loud, messy, gluttonous, territorial, and even dangerous. If you haven’t heard that great This American Life story about a turkey wreaking havoc on Martha’s Vineyard by literally attacking people, you should take a listen. Live in […] - [Bird Myths: Penguins Fall Over When Airplanes Fly Over Their Heads](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-myths-penguins-fall-over-when-airplanes-fly-over-their-heads/): Urban legends about birds abound, but one of the most bizarre stories involves penguin and planes. According to some pilots who were stationed in the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War, they devised a game in which they would slowly fly over a group of penguins. The penguins—fascinated by the large, loud plane—would watch it fly over, follow the plane with their heads, and topple over onto their backs. Wait, what? That’s right. Many people actually claim this happened. Even the Audubon Society Magazine apparently talked to someone about the phenomenon. Here’s the widely spread excerpt from Audubon Magazine: A […] - [Featured: Allied Precision Heated Deck Bird Bath](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-allied-precision-heated-deck-bird-bath/): It’s been a long hot summer (and fall depending on where you live), but temperatures are slowly but surely dropping. This means valuable resources like food and water are becoming scarcer. The Allied Precision Heated Deck Mount Bird Bath is the perfect present for the active winter birds in your ecosystem, combining a sturdy easy-mounting bath with a thermostat and 150-watt heating element to keep the bath from freezing, no matter how cold it gets! - [How Releasing Balloons Can Hurt Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-releasing-balloons-can-hurt-birds/): Releasing balloons, as they go fluttering into the deep blue sky, is an old tradition used to celebrate a happy occasion like a wedding or commemorate a sad event like a death. It’s fun to watch the balloons sail away until you can’t see them anymore, but what goes up must come down. And when those balloons do come down, scientists say they are killing birds. “Balloons are a huge threat, not only to birds, but turtles and other marine life,” said Fiona Maxwell, campaigner with the Australian Marine Conservation Society, in an article back in May. So how are balloons […] - [Why Birds of Prey Make Great Backyard Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/why-birds-of-preys-make-great-backyard-birds/): When you’re outside and you see a hawk hovering over your bird feeders, what’s the first thing that pops into your mind? It’s probably something along the lines of Shoo! Get out of here! Why do we think that? It’s mostly due to the fact that hawks and other raptors prey on the backyard birds we’ve come to know and love. We feed small songbirds to enjoy them, not to fatten them up for birds of prey to gobble them down. Despite their propensity of eating our favorite birds, having raptors around your yard can actually be a good thing. […] - [Where Do Birds Sleep at Night?](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/where-do-birds-sleep-at-night/): The quintessential sound of the morning (aside from the awful cry of an alarm clock) is the pleasant chirp of birds. Since we commonly associate birds with the morning, very few of us consider where birds go at night. During the day, you see birds nearly everywhere, soaring through the sky, standing on ledges and foraging for food. But once the sun sets, they seem to completely vanish. Sure, occasionally you’ll see an owl fly by or hear a Northern Mockingbird singing all night, but for the most part birds are nowhere to be found. A question we frequently get […] - [What Do Birds See?](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/what-do-birds-see/): It’s not crazy to assume birds see the world the same way we do. Except for sharper vision and spectacular views (like the one in our header image, which is from a team of Russian photographers), birds appear to see the same world as us, right? Well, not exactly. In order to understand what the world looks like through a bird’s eyes, we must first break things down into a few categories. UV Light Most birds that are active during the day detect ultraviolet light (that means this section doesn’t really apply to many nocturnal species). Whereas we have three […] - [Mnemonic Devices for Identifying Bird Songs](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/mnemonic-devices-for-identifying-bird-songs/): Recognizing a bird just from its song is no easy task. Sure, there are recordings you can listen to over and over or you could play a game like Larkwire, but it’s still exceptionally difficult unless you can really internalize the sound. That’s why mnemonic devices and phonetics are essential. For those who don’t know, a mnemonic device is a learning technique that associates something you have to remember with something else, such as a song, memorable phrase, or acronym. For example, the ABC song helps children remember the alphabet. “HOMES” is an acronym for the Great Lakes (pop quiz: […] - [Birds May Be Spreading Infections at Your Feeders](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/birds-may-be-spreading-infections-at-your-feeders/): You know the old aphorism that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Well, that may be the case with your bird feeders. Putting out bird feeders is a great way to provide sustenance to birds during harsh winter months, but the feeders may also be helping the spread of a bacterial infection called mycoplasmal conjunctivitis, according to recent research in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Researchers found in Virginia that House Finches that often visited feeders were more likely to spread the eye infection. Here’s more from the lead researcher: “If you’re interested in reducing the […] - [10 Fun Facts About Hummingbird Migration](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/10-fun-facts-about-hummingbird-migration/): It’s fall migration time! Those in the North are saying bye to the hummingbirds; those down South are saying hello as they pass through; those in the West are saying “whatever” to the hummingbirds hanging around all year. (If you happen to be reading this during spring migration, replace North and South in the last paragraph.) To mark this occasion, we decided to assemble 10 of the most interesting hummingbird migration facts we could find for you. Take a look. 1. Hummingbirds live solitary lives and migrate by themselves. We often think of birds migrating in flocks, particularly geese, but […] - [Featured: Songbird Essentials Log Suet Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-songbird-essentials-log-suet-feeder/): With the colder weather on its way, it’s the perfect time to offer suet to your backyard birds.

Birds will think it’s just another delicious tree! - [This Video of a Hummingbird's Feathers Will Blow Your Mind](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/this-video-of-a-hummingbirds-feathers-will-blow-your-mind/): Yes, I do apologize for the clickbait headline, but I found the video absolutely amazing. It shows what a male Anna’s Hummingbird’s feathers look like up close and from different directions. The iridescent feathers almost make the hummingbird look like its morphing or changing colors like a chameleon. In reality, the perceived change in colors has to do with the way the light hits the feather’s structure. It’s similar to the fact that Blue Jays aren’t technically blue. - [Bird Myths: Swallows Survive Winter Burrowed in Mud](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-myths-swallows-survive-winter-burrowed-in-mud/): When temperatures start to drop, birds handle the transition in different ways. Some travel to warmer temperatures while others tough it out. Some birds even burrow into the mud to escape the cold, right? Wrong. For thousands of years, people have believed the myth that birds (swallows specifically) will burrow into the mud and essentially hide away for the winter. Most people nowadays know that no birds hibernate, but the myth still persists in some minds. So where did this theory come from? Way back in the 4th century BC, Aristotle was one of the first people to delve into […] - [How Often Should I Refill My Bird Feeders?](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-often-should-i-refill-my-bird-feeders/): With fall migration finally here, it’s a great time to prepare yourself for an influx of visitors. We’ve written extensively about the things you can do to get ready, including cleaning your feeders, but we haven’t touched on how often to refill your feeders. Many things affect the amount of time it takes for a feeder to become empty, including the feeder’s capacity, the frequency of visitors, the type of seed you offer, and weather. Refilling is also a matter of preference. You can refill your feeders frequently or sporadically. Some people refill their feeders multiple times a day (especially […] - [Featured: Songbird Essentials Roosting Pocket](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-songbird-essentials-roosting-pocket/): With fall migration beginning, brace yourself for an influx of different species. Help visiting birds on their long and arduous journey by providing a place for them to roost. The Songbird Essentials Hanging Grass Roosting Pocket is the perfect place for birds to make their home in the spring or roost when it’s cold. - [5 Amazing Bird Migration Records](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/5-amazing-bird-migration-records/): Autumn is here (technically) and that means fall migration is beginning. It’s the time of year when countless birds make the trek toward warmer temperatures. Birders everywhere are grabbing their binoculars to prepare for the smorgasbord of species passing through. In honor of this fun and exciting occasion, we thought we’d share five of the most awesome and unbelievable bird migration accomplishments. Highest Flying Migration – Bar-headed Goose Legend has it that the Bar-headed Goose has been spotted flying over the top of Mount Everest, which has a peak at about 29,000 ft. Although the Everest fact hasn’t been verified, […] - [10 Best Bird Movies](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/10-best-bird-movies/): Kick up your feet, grab some popcorn, and get comfortable because it’s movie time. Since birds are fun, entertaining, and compelling creatures in real life, it’s easy to see why birds make such great movie subjects. However, compared with well-trodden movie subjects like pirates, ghosts, and boxers, there’s a dearth of really great films about birds. Fortunately, there are a few that are fun to watch and great for the family. This list is completely subjective and forgoes some of the popular animated films that feature birds like Rio and Chicken Little, but this is a place to start for those looking […] - [Get Ready with the Aspects HummZinger HighView Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/get-ready-with-the-aspects-hummzinger-highview-feeder/): The hummingbirds are coming, the hummingbirds are coming!

What the heck are they doing? Read on to learn more about the sound. What is pishing? Pishing is the term for that repetitive sound birders make to attract birds. Pishing is an onomatopoeic word because it resembles the actual sound (similar to buzz or chirp). In the field, it usually sounds like a pish pish pish. This sound imitates a bird’s call, specifically a bird’s alarm call. So wouldn’t pishing repel birds because they think there’s a […] - [How to Stop Suet from Melting](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-stop-suet-from-melting/): It’s brutal out there. We’re in the dog days of summer and the heat is suffocating. I’ve been going anywhere I can that has air conditioning, so I can only imagine what the birds are going through. The heat itself presents tons of problems for birds, including a lack of water, but one problem people with suet feeders will have is melting suet. When temperatures exceed 90 degrees, suet quickly becomes a mess. Here’s how to stop that from happening. Why melted suet is bad for birds Many people stop putting out suet for birds once winter ends. This is perfectly […] - [Featured Item: Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-item-droll-yankees-yankee-flipper-feeder/):   The Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper is easily the most entertaining and effective method for foiling potential seed-stealing, bird-scattering squirrels.

For more than 200 days, the birds journeyed across harsh terrain and survived, but that’s not the most impressive thing about it. According to the trackers placed on the birds, the swifts made the journey by flying nonstop. Yes, the birds ate while in the air and even slept while in the air. This amazing study, which has been out for a few years now, shows definitive proof that some birds spend the majority of the year in the air. Scientists […] - [Owl No Longer Gives a Hoot](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/owl-no-longer-gives-a-hoot/): Sometimes we all have those days when we no longer give a hoot. This viral video of an owl nonchalantly sitting on a branch as small birds dive-bomb its head has been making the rounds over the past week. At some point, we’ve all felt exactly like this owl. - [How Wildfires Affect Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-wildfires-affect-birds/): Wildfires are devastating in so many ways. When hundreds of acres burn, not only is the landscape ravaged but people’s lives are often changed forever. At the moment in California, 13,000 people have been given evacuation orders as 20 or so wildfires rage across the drought-stricken land. While people are the main focus of the devastation (as they should be), animals are also victims of the desolation. What happens to all the birds that live in or around the wildfires that engulf hundreds of square miles every year? Let’s find out. Where do birds going during a fire? The exact […] - [Featured: Pinebush Kilo Seed Bird Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-pinebush-kilo-seed-bird-feeder/): Pinebush is known for its unique yet highly functional designs, and the Kilo Seed Bird Feeder is the perfect example.

Seeing a bird hopping on the ground is endearing, but the true allure of birds reveals itself when they take flight. That’s why it’s so disheartening and disconcerting when you find a dead bird on the ground. It doesn’t matter where you find the bird, it always seems to bring down the mood. So what should you do if you come across a dead bird? Before we answer that question, let’s first take a look at some of the reasons a bird is no […] - [What Are Those Strangely Colored Birds at My Feeder?](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/what-are-those-strangely-colored-birds-at-my-feeder/): Have you ever seen a strangely colored bird at your feeder? It might have been a Northern Cardinal with white spots or perhaps a yellow House Finch? If so, you’re not alone. Every day people see birds with unusual plumage. So what’s wrong with these birds? Let’s find out. Color Variants Even though it might seem like something’s wrong with birds that look different in terms of color, there’s actually a fair amount of variation that goes on among species. Some bluebirds are simply bluer than others. But when birds look drastically different with completely white heads or unusually dark […] - [Featured: Rainbow-Gardman Mini Bird Bath](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-rainbow-gardman-mini-bird-bath/): Whether they’re preening their feathers or taking a drink, all birds need water.

Those squeaky, cute little creatures are so helpless and adorable that you can’t help but stare and smile when you come across them. But when you rush to tell your family what you saw, what do you say? I saw three cute baby birds today? I saw a nest full of chicks today?

In the world of birds, a dad’s involvement in the raising of its young and caring for the mother is vastly different species to species. Male hummingbirds, for example, will give virtually no help when it comes to raising its young. The mother builds the nest and tends to the young while the father’s only task is to reproduce. Even though male hummingbirds aren’t the most attentive fathers, there are many other species with awesome dads. Let’s take a look. Peregrine Falcon The male Peregrine Falcon is a great partner when it comes to […] - [Featured: Birds Choice Oriolefest Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-birds-choice-oriolefest-feeder/): With their bright orange plumage, orioles are among the most ebullient birds you can find in North America.

What if I said you could attract new bird species to your property that haven’t visited before? You might think I’m some sort of snake oil —err—bird oil salesman, but it’s entirely possible. Even though House Finches and Downy Woodpeckers are remarkable birds with tons of personality, you might be itching to see some new birds after decades of seeing the same ones. Here’s how you can do it. Offer different types of food If you’ve been offering the same types of seed […] - [5 Birdhouse Accessories That'll Make Life More Enjoyable](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/5-birdhouse-accessories-thatll-make-life-more-enjoyable/): Nesting season is in full swing, and those with birdhouses know the joy of offering shelter to birds. But birdhouses aren’t always fun and games. They can be difficult to maintain, tough to protect from predators, and a pain to take down. So, we assembled this list of five cool birdhouse accessories that’ll make your life more enjoyable. Telescoping Pole Certain birdhouses, specifically Purple Martin houses, do best when they’re high off the ground. This can present some problems when you have to take down the birdhouse to remove unwanted guests or when the last of the colony is gone. That’s why […] - [Featured: Droll Yankees Tubular Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-droll-yankees-tubular-feeder/): Give your backyard birds a truly stylish feeder with the Droll Yankees 20″ Tubular Feeder.

It can’t be easy living life out in the cold, trying to tell the difference between sky and windows, escaping the clutches of cats, and finding viable sources of food. But, according to a new study, bird feeders may not be entirely helpful. The study, which was conducted by researchers at Auckland University, found that urban bird feeders were more likely to attract and benefit nonnative species than native species. - [Why You Should Celebrate International Migratory Bird Day on May 9](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/why-you-should-celebrate-international-migratory-bird-day-on-may-9/): The second Saturday of May is nearly upon and that can only mean one thing: International Migratory Bird Day. Every year the IMBD (no, not that one) aims to celebrate and publicize one of the most amazing occurrences throughout the world: bird migration. Millions of birds make the journey throughout the year, whether it’s a few hundred miles or more than a thousand miles. At the same time, millions of adults and kids watch the colorful birds fly by in wonder. Bird migration doesn’t take place entirely in one day, which is why the events and celebration of International Migratory Bird Day […] - [Featured: Homestead Jolly Pop Red Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-homestead-jolly-pop-red-feeder/): Add a splash of color and personality to your yard with the Homestead Hummingbird Jolly Pop Red Feeder.

Then you see an unusual bird flapping through the sky making a strange squeaking noise. Then it dawns on you… it’s a bat! We at Backyard Chirper primarily focus our attention on birds, but we also sell a variety of bat-related products. Why? Read on. The Benefit of Bats It’s fair to say that bats are unfairly characterized and much maligned. We see them as blood-sucking creatures on par with spiders in terms of creepiness. But despite their gargoyle-like appearance and snarling faces, bats are […] - [Why Cemeteries Make the Best Birding Spots](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/why-cemeteries-make-the-best-birding-spots/): In the midst of most cities is a relatively large oasis that’s quiet and free from human activity. There’s one catch: this is where bodies are put to rest. Sure, cemeteries might seem like eerie and somber places to go birding, but you’ll see an array of birds you wouldn’t find elsewhere. Here’s why. An oasis for birds Everywhere you go, there’s a cemetery lurking not too far away. The reason why cemeteries are such great birding spots has to do with the fact that these are large, open spaces with trees and grass. Except for the occasional visitor, groundskeeper, […] - [Artist Crafts Lifelike Birds From Paper and Wood](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/artist-crafts-lifelike-birds-from-paper-and-wood/): It’s astounding just how many ways someone can show his or her appreciation for birds. It typically comes in the form of gorgeous photographs, but occasionally someone will express his or her appreciation through a different art form. That’s where Zack Mclaughlin comes in. In his post over at BoredPanda, Zack lays out how he became inspired by the beauty of birds to create gorgeous sculptures. He used the beauty found in the natural world to influence his own work. The results are astounding. You can see in his sculptures, which are composed of paper, wood, and other materials, that he pays careful […] - [Featured Bird Item: Birds Choice Bluebird House](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-bird-item-birds-choice-bluebird-house/): After a long and harsh winter, the bluebirds are finally back.

You don’t have to be an artist to participate because no matter how poorly drawn the picture ends up, it always manages to evoke a feeling of happiness. According to the Draw A Bird Day website, the origins of Draw A Bird Day date back to 1943, when a 7-year-old girl named Dorie Cooper visited her uncle at a hospital in England. Her uncle, who was wounded during the war, was […] - [Tiny Bird Makes Epic 1,700-mile Trip Over Water](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/tiny-bird-makes-epic-1700-mile-trip-over-water/): Imagine taking trip that requires you to run for three or four days nonstop. That means no stopping, no eating, no sleeping. For humans, that trip is an impossibility. But for one tiny bird, that trip is a reality each spring. For a long time, the small Blackpoll Warbler has vexed ornithologists, who wondered how the forest songbird made its way from eastern Canada or the northeastern parts of the United States to South America. So researchers strapped a harness with a miniature geolocator the size of a dime to the birds’ back and waited for the findings. They found the […] - [Watch Man Reunite Baby Bird With Parents](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/watch-man-reunite-baby-bird-with-parents/): Amateur birdwatcher Patrick Smith was taking a smoke break in an empty parking lot outside his office building in Riverside, Calif., when he heard distressed chirping.

With the Crow Box feeder, now you can train crows to pay for their food with spare change from the street. Yes, we know you don’t feed birds with the expectation of anything in return (except to enjoy the company of colorful birds in your backyard), but the Crow Box is an interesting vending machine for birds that could have wider implications. The Crow Box, which was discussed in a TED talk way back in 2008, was recently resurrected by the Daily Mail, and since we didn’t write about it back then, we’d […] - [Bird Myths: Bags of Mixed Seed is Bad for Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-myths-bags-of-mixed-seed-is-bad-for-birds/): A while back, I wrote a post based on some comments made by Audubon’s Director of Development in Conn. The gist of his comment was that cheap bags of mixed seed are not great for birds because they won’t eat much of it. However, some people now have the wrong idea that bags of mixed seed are not only wasteful but also bad for birds. We’re here to bust that myth. The truth is that bags of mixed can be an excellent option for birds, as long as you know exactly what you’re buying. Avoid the cheap stuff Since birds can […] - [Rainbow Collar Could Stop Cats from Killing Millions of Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/rainbow-collar-could-stop-cats-from-killing-millions-of-birds/): In the United States alone, outdoor cats kill anywhere between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds each year. That’s the reason why such a rift exists between cat people and bird people (who sometimes overlap). Many bird advocates want all cats kept indoors and feral populations euthanized. Some feline advocates think cats should have free range to go where they want and hunt what they please because it’s a part of nature. As I wrote way back in 2011, there are no easy answers to the cat vs. bird debate. There are ways you can help minimize the amount of birds that are killed by […] - [Featured: Allied Precision Heated Bird Bath](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-allied-precision-heated-bird-bath/): Winter is rough for birds because even though it seems like water is everywhere, it’s frequently frozen over. WIth the latest featured product, you’ll be able to offer fresh water to birds year-round. The Allied Precision Four Seasons Heated Bird Bath is the perfect solution for those looking to attract an array of beautiful species in the dead of winter or the height of spring. - [Join the 18th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/join-the-18th-annual-great-backyard-bird-count/): With more than 140,000 estimated participants from 135 countries, the 2014 Great Backyard Bird Count was one of the most exciting and record-breaking counts ever. The number one species that appeared on the most checklists was the Northern Cardinal and the most numerous bird was the Red-winged Blackbird. Scientists use the data to answer questions like how climate change affects bird populations, why certain bird numbers experience ebbs and flows each year, and much more. In case you missed it last year, the 2015 Great Backyard Bird Count is just around the corner. For four days between Feb. 13 and Feb. 16, […] - [Attract Beautiful Barn Owls With This House](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/attract-beautiful-barn-owls-with-this-house/): As one of the most widespread owl species in the world, the Barn Owl is a gorgeous bird of prey that’s highly sought after. Not only are they fun to look at but they also defend against rodent infestations. That’s what makes the Barn Owl House from Coveside Conservation Products such an excellent addition to any yard. - [Bird Myths: Picking Up a Bird Feather is Illegal](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-myths-picking-up-a-bird-feather-is-illegal/): You may have heard the urban legend. One day a guy is hiking along a trail and he spots a gorgeous-looking feather on the ground. He picks it up and carries it around in his hand, looking at it with wonder and curiosity. That’s when he’s arrested and fined $100,000 for possessing a feather illegally. Sounds preposterous right? Wrong. While the details of the urban legend may be exaggerated, it is in fact illegal to collect certain bird feathers thanks to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The nearly 100-year-old act was put into place to protect birds that […] - [How to Keep a Yard Bird List](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-keep-a-yard-bird-list/): The beauty of backyard birding is that you can watch from a window while you drink your morning coffee or unwind in the backyard after a long day at work. You can see so many birds in the 15 minutes you spend outside or staring out the window. But do you know how many different birds you really see? By keeping a yard list, you can make a note of how many species you’ve seen from the confines of your backyard. Depending on where you live, you’d be surprised at just how many different species you could spot on your […] - [4 Accessories to Winterize Your Feeders](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/4-accessories-to-winterize-your-feeders/): We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: winter is a rough time for birds. Food is scarce, all the drinkable water freezes, and safe spots to roost are rare. There are many things you can do to help birds navigate harsh winters, but if you’re reading this, you probably already have a feeder (or two) in your backyard. Since providing food to birds is a great way to help, all you have to do is make sure your feeders are capable of making it through the winter too. So we created this list of four accessories that’ll winterize your feeders and make them safe […] - [Featured Bird Product: Aspects Super Dome](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-bird-product-aspects-super-dome/): Whether you’re trying to thwart rambunctious squirrels or prevent the elements of nature from causing damage, the Super Dome from Aspects is the perfect way to protect your feeder. This large baffle can be used with any hanging feeder and offers superior protection from snow, rain, and squirrels. Since the diameter of the dome is 18 inches, squirrels are incapable of stretching underneath the baffle like some of the smaller iterations. Instead, the steep curvature drops squirrels off the sides and keeps your feeders free from rodents. - [Tips For Maintaining Your Heated Birdbath](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/tips-for-maintaining-your-heated-birdbath/): We’re in the age of weather extremes. In the summer the temperatures frequently exceed triple digits, and in the winter the temperatures can dip way below freezing. It makes the daily grind for people miserable, but you can only imagine how miserable it can be for birds. In terms of freezing temperatures, one of the things you can do to help give your backyard birds a helping hand is to get a heated birdbath. These will give your birds access to fresh drinking and preening water when none is readily available. We’ve already written extensively on how to winterize your […] - [How to Stop Hummingbird Nectar from Freezing](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-stop-hummingbird-nectar-from-freezing/): Just because the weather during wintertime becomes less inviting and more biting, it’s not a foregone conclusion that all hummingbirds have left for warmer climates. Depending on where you live, hummingbirds might actually stick around for longer than you think. For example, the Anna’s Hummingbird is no stranger to spending snowy winter days in Washington state while you might find other species in the icy Northeastern wintertime. When temperatures dip below freezing, it’s even more difficult for hummingbirds to survive and thrive because their natural source of food is harder to find, which is why some Audubon groups and nature shops […] - [Featured: Conant Brass Bird Feeder & Thermometer](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-conant-brass-bird-feeder-thermometer/) - [Featured Item: Songbird Essentials Seed Hoop](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-item-songbird-essentials-seed-hoop/): Feeding birds is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable hobbies you can participate in, but there can be downsides. Birds don’t always eat with the finesse you’d like and oftentimes leave a huge mess of birdseed scattered beneath the feeder. - [Time to Start Counting Birds for Science with the 115th Annual Christmas Bird Count](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/time-to-start-counting-birds-for-science-with-the-115th-annual-christmas-bird-count/): It’s that time of year again. Time to bundle up from the cold, spend time with friends and family, and count birds for science. Yes, the 115th Annual Christmas Bird Count is beginning Dec. 14 and going until Jan. 5. Tens of thousands of people will participate in the longest running citizen science survey in the world by taking a census of wild birds. Not only is this a fun family event but it also helps scientists document the changes in bird populations over the last year. And since this has been going on for such a long time, scientists are also able to […] - [How to Keep Bird Feeders Dry When It's Raining](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-keep-bird-feeders-dry-when-its-raining/): With winter quickly approaching, expect things to get a little wet out there. For some parts of the country, like the West, rain provides a much needed reprieve from the arid conditions, but there are also a lot of downsides to rain: mudslides, car accidents, flooding, etc. Like us, birds face their own challenges during the wet weather. It becomes more difficult to fly in the rain and hummingbirds face even bigger obstacles when drops fall from the sky. While birds often seek shelter when rain’s falling, that doesn’t mean they don’t need a little help with the bird feeders. When […] - [Featured: Home Bazaar Covered Bridge Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-home-bazaar-covered-bridge-feeder/): For hundreds of years, the covered bridge has been a popular structure in folklore and fiction. Its novel design and wooden trusses add to the quaint atmosphere of hometown America. - [How to Prepare Your Birdbath for Winter](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-winterize-your-birdbath/): Here’s something that may surprise you: Offering birds drinking water when the temperatures dip to freezing is just as essential as offering water when the thermometer exceeds triple digits. Yes, summer is undeniably harsh on birds but so is winter. Finding clean water to drink is extremely difficult for birds in both seasons, but winter is even worse because even though there might be snow everywhere, all the water is frozen. So as parts of the country are suffering from cold weather (and winter isn’t even here yet!), let’s look at a few ways to winterize your birdbath to ensure your birds have fresh […] - [Test Offers More Proof That Birds Can Count](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/test-offers-more-proof-that-birds-can-count/): Any backyard birder can tell you with confidence that birds are highly intelligent. Whether it’s the way they manage to get that last bit of bird seed out of a feeder or the way some mimic the calls of other species, birds are no slouches when it comes to smarts. In fact, a few years ago, a study said that birds are smarter than 7-year-old children in certain aspects. For those who constantly argue that being “bird-brained” is not a bad thing, a recent study has provided more proof of the intelligence of birds. According to the New York Times, Alexis Garland and […] - [Featured: Good Direction Enchanted Bird Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-good-direction-enchanted-bird-feeder/): Take one look at this weeks’s featured bird product and you’ll instantly fall under its spell.

With the Pinebush Doughnut Peanut Feeder, you can serve up peanuts while simultaneously sprucing up your backyard. - [New Apps Will Identify Birds From Their Calls](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/new-apps-will-identify-birds-from-their-calls/): It’s the app we’ve all been waiting for (now that Birdsnap is out): the “Shazam” of bird calls. Earlier this year, I wrote about a new app called Birdsnap that could identify birds in images that you upload to the app (or website). Although it has some downsides (like the fact that you must get a clear and close-up image), that’s one of the few birding apps people have been clamoring about for years. The other app people have been asking for since smartphones became a thing is a “Shazam” for bird calls. Shazam, for those who have never heard of […] - [American Crow vs. Common Raven: How to Tell Apart The Two Similar Species](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/american-crow-vs-common-raven-how-to-tell-apart-the-two-similar-species/): Perhaps it’s because of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” or the constant caw coming from the tree in my childhood yard during fall, but crows and ravens remind me of October. I know that’s silly (since crows and ravens can pretty much be found throughout the United States at any time of year), but it’s the connotation that sticks with me the most. As a cool breeze once again sweeps through the city to remove the dying leaves from the trees, I’ve begun to see more large black birds flying about. Despite my draw toward crows and ravens during this time of year, I could never figure […] - [LSU Birding Team Breaks World Big Day Record](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/lsu-birding-team-breaks-world-big-day-record/): Think of how many different bird species you’ve ever seen or heard in a single day. Depending on where you’re at and what you’re doing, you could probably get up to a few dozen species. Now think about this: The Louisiana State University Birding Team recently identified 354 bird species in a single day. Let that sink in. That’s 354 birds within a 24-hour timeframe. As you might guess, that Big Day number is a world record. (For comparison, the North American Big Day record, which was broken last year, is 294 species.) On October 14, 2014, a birding team composed of […] - [Featured Item: No/No Red Cardinal Bird Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-item-nono-red-cardinal-bird-feeder/) - [How to Deal With Bully Birds at Your Feeders](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/how-to-deal-with-bully-birds-at-your-feeders/): We’ve all seen it happen at one time or another. A small chickadee is quietly and gently eating some seed from your feeder when out of nowhere a noisy Blue Jay comes swooping in and scares off the chickadee. It’s a dog eat dog world out there (or should we say bird eat bird), but you don’t have to stand for larger more aggressive birds scaring off the smaller more gentler species. If you’re having a problem with bully birds, here are some ways you can discourage them. Types of Bully Birds When a bird feeder is crowded, sometimes birds will […] - [Featured Product: Feng Shui Elements Chime](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-woodstock-chimes-feng-shui-elements-chime/): Even though we focus primarily on bird products, we have a special fondness for creating the perfect outdoor sanctuary in our backyard. That feeling of serenity can only be achieved with the help of our featured product this week: the Feng Shui Chime. - [When Do I Take Down Hummingbird Feeders?](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/when-do-i-take-down-hummingbird-feeders/): October is officially here and the weather around most of the country is slowly starting to cool down (a little too slowly in some parts!). October is a great time to reassess your bird feeding habits and to thoroughly clean everything, from birdhouses to bird feeders. But there’s that one nagging question you might have: Is it time to take down my hummingbird feeders? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t as simple as a yes or no. It depends. Will hummingbirds not migrate with feeders up? Before we get into the when you should take down a feeder, it’s important to bust […] - [Collective Nouns for Groups of Various Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/collective-nouns-for-groups-of-various-birds/): We’re all familiar with some of the basic collective nouns for birds, such as a murder of crows or a gaggle of geese, but what about a charm of finches or a parliament of owls? So we’ve assembled a list of collective nouns for various types of birds. While the first term is typically the most common, the others are equally acceptable. Before we get to specific groups of birds, a group of general birds has a number of names you can use. Perhaps the most common is a flock of birds, but it can also be a flight, volery, […] - [Featured Product: Allied Precision Bird Bath](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-allied-precision-bird-bath/): The single most important thing you can offer backyard birds is access to fresh water. With this week’s featured product, your birds will have a safe place to drink water right from your deck. The Allied Precision Deck Mounted Bird Bath is the perfect way to attract a wide variety of species to your yard without needing to install plumbing or connect to a power outlet. - [Artist Arranges Birds Into Perfect Flying Pattern](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/artist-arranges-birds-into-perfect-flying-pattern/): People experience birds in vastly different ways. Some have a casual relationship with birds, just seeing them around the city, while others go out of their way to feed birds.. Still what I enjoy most is when people use birds in art. From the paintings of Chris Lodge to paper sculptures by Diana Herrera, people express their love for birds in different ways. When you first look at the photos of birds by Shaun Kardinal, you’ll undoubtedly think to yourself that you’ve never seen birds fly like that before. In fact, you haven’t. Using photo editing software, Kardinal organizes the birds into complex patterns […] - [5 Accessories That'll Make Bird Feeding Easier](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/5-accessories-thatll-make-bird-feeding-easier/): Feeding birds is not only fun and entertaining but it can also be very rewarding. Serving healthy food and clean water has helped innumerable birds navigate tough winters or summers and receive the necessary fuel to fly thousands of miles. For all the joys and relaxation feeding birds can bring, bird feeding does have some downsides. Refilling can be a pain, especially in winter. Cleaning can be exhausting and must be done regularly. Birds can be messy, dropping seeds that sprout on your lawn. If you’re struggling with some of these problems, you don’t have to suffer anymore. These are 5 essential accessories that’ll make your life […] - [Watch a Bird Dive-bomb People in San Francisco](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/watch-a-bird-dive-bomb-people-in-san-francisco/): You’re walking down the street, maybe listening to some music on your phone or picking up your daughter from school, when all of a sudden you feel a firm pang on the back of your head. You instinctively duck and clutch your head while turning around to see nothing out of the ordinary. If this has ever happened to you, you were probably the victim of a dive-bombing bird. Although I’ve never been the target of an angry bird protecting its young, I can imagine it’s frightening to get attacked by an unprovoked bird. But videos of birds swooping down […] - [Featured Product: Birds Choice Squirrel Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-birds-choice-squirrel-feeder/): To many, squirrels are the bane of their existence, especially since squirrels are constantly raiding bird feeders. But as the old saying goes: If you can’t beat them, join them. This week’s featured product from Birds Choice encourages you to stop battling squirrels and embrace them as endearing critters that share your backyard the same way birds do. - [Realistic Robotic Raptors Take To The Skies](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/realistic-robotic-raptors-take-to-the-skies/): From extremely loud noises to despicable poisoning, people are always thinking of methods to keep pesky birds away from places like airports and dumps. But a company called Clear Flight Solutions may have found one of the most harmless and efficient methods of scaring away birds: robirds. Robirds, a portmanteau of “robot” and “bird,” is exactly what it sounds like. Using advanced 3D printing technology, Clear Flight Solutions has created robotic birds that look and fly almost exactly like birds of prey in an effort to frighten unwanted birds. Why would this be an ingenious and amazing invention? It would save billions of dollars […] - [Featured Product: Birds Choice Supper Dome](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-birds-choice-supper-dome/): Give your birds a reason to flock to your yard with this week’s featured product: the Birds Choice Supper Dome. The Supper Dome is a unique feeder that’s three in one. On the ends of the feeder, removable wire holders allow you to put out suet cakes for birds like woodpeckers and chickadees. Two separate feeding compartments in the center of the feeder allow you to mix and match various bird foods. In the smaller compartment, you could offer mealworms, and in the larger one, you could put out seed. The feeder will accommodate any type of food, from peanuts […] - [Watch a Heroic Bear Save a Crow from Drowning](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/watch-a-heroic-bear-save-a-crow-from-drowning/):   With the constant barrage of depressing stories of war and disaster all over the news, it’s always refreshing to take a step back and watch two unlikely foes get along. A Black-hooded Crow recently fell into the water moat in the bear enclosure at the Budapest Zoo in Hungary. Instead of letting the suffering bird drown, the bear rescues the bird with its mouth and tosses it on dry land. At this point, the bear could easily chow down on the bird (since bears have been known to eat birds), but the bear walks away and eats its apple. The zoo keeper said […] - [Featured Product: Aspects Jewel Box Feeder](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-aspects-jewel-box-feeder/): We here at Backyard Chirper are big fans of products that let you get up close and personal with birds, which is why the Jewel Box Window Hummingbird Feeder from Aspects is our featured product this week. Hummingbirds are often referred to as Nature’s Jewels and this featured product lets you “collect” them from the safety of your own home. - [Foods You Should Avoid Feeding Backyard Birds](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/foods-you-should-avoid-feeding-backyard-birds/): Not too long ago, I wrote an extensive Guide to Wild Bird Food that covered pretty much all types of food regularly offered to backyard birds. While you have a ton of variety in what you can give, depending on the species you’re trying to attract and the feeder you have, there are also a number of foods you should avoid giving birds. Here’s a round-up of some of the worst foods you can give to birds. Salt Birds love peanuts, so it’s OK to give them all of these salted peanuts, right? Wrong. As with most of the food on this list, […] - [Hundreds of Birds Poisoned at Houston Airport](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/hundreds-of-birds-poisoned-at-houston-airport/): On Saturday and Sunday, birds near Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston began falling from the sky and acting very strangely. Some were paralyzed on the ground with their beaks open while others flew around drunkenly before dying. I can’t imagine how utterly horrific this scene must have been for those who saw it firsthand. Here’s an excerpt from a local news story about the birds and the airport employees who saw them: “It was going around and around in circles, you know, like how somebody is drunk or dizzy,” said parking lot worker Betrice Miles. She was talking about pigeons and grackles […] - [Bird With Largest Wingspan Ever Discovered](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/bird-with-largest-wingspan-ever-discovered/): The bird with the largest wingspan is the Wandering Albatross, which has an amazingly huge wingspan of 11 ft 11 in. That’s taller than two men of average height stacked on top of each other from head to two. (Here’s a fun comparison of the albatross’ wingspan and humans.) Now prepare to have your mind blown. A recently discovered ancient bird species has a staggering wingspan of about 21 feet, making it the largest known flying bird ever to exist. - [New App Identifies Birds With Visual Technology](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/new-app-identifies-birds-with-visual-technology/): It’s the app we’ve all been waiting for. Birdsnap is here to take away the frustration of identifying birds with the use of visual technology akin to facial recognition. The app, which is available on the iPhone (though there’s also a website anyone can use), is basically a free electronic field guide of 500 common species that automatically finds similar species to the one in the picture you upload. I’ve yet to really try it out so far, but some of the early reviews have been positive. The accuracy detailed in the review I just linked to was surprisingly high, even for […] - [Featured Product: Purple Martin Barn House](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/featured-product-purple-martin-barn-house/): The story goes that long before Europeans arrived in America, Native Americans hollowed out gourds to attract Purple Martins by providing safe nesting spots. Not only were the birds great company, but they were also thought to have kept crows away from crops. Since then, the Purple Martin has only become more and more connected with humans, consistently relying on us for nesting sites. That’s why the 16 Family Purple Martin Barn House from S&K Manufacturing is this week’s featured product. Believe it or not, much of the eastern population of the Purple Martins is completely reliant on humans providing […] - [Hummingbird Nests: Interesting Facts and More](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/hummingbird-nests-interesting-facts-and-more/): Hummingbird nests are amazing feats of nature. Despite being as little as two inches, hummingbirds can create beautiful and elaborate nests that withstand elements and fool predators. These tiny nests can be hard to find, but seeing one in person (from a safe distance, of course) is an amazing experience. So we’re going over where you might find a hummingbird nest, what they’re made out of, and some fun facts. What Do Hummingbird Nests Look Like? If you want to see one of these tiny nests in person, you first have to know what you’re looking for. Generally speaking, hummingbird […] - [Father's Day Gift Ideas for Bird Lovers](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/fathers-day-gift-ideas-for-bird-lovers/): Is your father always carrying a bird guide or stopping mid-conversation when a bird chirps? He’s a birder. Birders aren’t always the easiest people to get presents for. For example, most will scoff if you get them a novelty bird necktie or a bulky birding vest. So with Father’s Day just around the corner, we have some good gift ideas for those bird-loving dads out there. New Bird Guide If your dad’s a birder, chances are he already has a bird guide (or a dozen depending on how long he’s been around). This is where you have to know your dad. There are […] - [3 Recent Examples of Bird Intelligence](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/3-recent-examples-of-bird-intelligence/): If you’re a reader of this blog, you’ve read the countless ways birds are intelligent—from a study that says they’re as smart as a 7-year-old to a test revealing pigeons have complex math skills. In the last month, the argument that “bird brain” should forever be used as a compliment just got stronger. Three recent news stories demonstrated the intelligence of birds. Here they are. Barn Swallows have mastered automatic doors. When automatic doors were installed inside a parking garage, the Barn Swallows nesting inside the garage were either trapped inside or outside. A lesser creature would have been stuck under […] - [Ways to Enjoy International Migratory Bird Day](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/ways-to-enjoy-international-migratory-bird-day/): Every second Saturday of May, birders across Canada and the United States bring attention to one of the most awesome and important natural events in the Americas: bird migration. International Migratory Bird Day, which falls on May 10 this year, aims to raise awareness about birds by encouraging events around a theme. This year’s theme is “Why Birds Matter.” Although the actual day is in May for Canada and the U.S. and in October for Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, the organization makes a point to emphasize that the day doesn’t work for everyone. Birds may already […] - [Beware of Hungry Bears at Bird Feeders](https://backyardchirper.com/blog/beware-of-hungry-bears-at-bird-feeders/): Spring is a wonderful time to put up your feeders and attract an array of fun species… well, for most people. Even though the vast majority of people in the U.S. can happily and safely put up their bird feeders without worry, there’s a small portion of bird lovers who simply can’t enjoy the birds a feeder can bring to their yard. Here’s why: If you live in bear country, having your feeder up can be a hazard not only for you but for your whole neighborhood. Bears can get pretty desperate, thanks to limited resources, and they will do […] ## Pages - [Cart](https://backyardchirper.com/cart/) - [Gift Card Balance](https://backyardchirper.com/gift-card-balance/) - [Gift Card](https://backyardchirper.com/gift-card/) - [Learn](https://backyardchirper.com/learn/): Learning Center Library Select from the topics on the left to see a listing of articles on that topic.
