It is estimated that at least 75 million people in the US alone are bird lovers and enjoy watching for them in their yard or make special efforts to see them when out.
Are you one of the many?
If you answer yes to these questions, you probably are!
- Do you spend too much money to feed the birds all winter long?
- Do you save baby birds, even if they are just sparrows?
- Do you have more bird feeders in your yard than all the neighbors on your street combined?
- Do you have a bird journal that you keep nearby at all times?
- Do you ask for bird paraphernalia for your birthday and Christmas?
- Do you love going to the aviary at the zoo more than the other places?
I’m sure you know if you are true bird lover or not! One thing is for sure – you are not alone! Here’s a great opportunity for you to learn how to bring more of those feathered friends to your yard.
Here are some photos taken by Stacey, our content and social media manager, at her home feeders.

Join the Kent Master Gardeners for a free program at the Kent Free Library on Tuesday, July 9 at 7:00 pm on attracting birds to your backyard. Presenters will discuss the importance of a bio-diverse (wildlife friendly) landscape and how you can help your feathered friends, no matter what size your lot is or where you live.
Learn how even a small city lot can play an important role in wildlife conservation, when you landscape to provide food, water, shelter, and nesting areas.
