Birder Gifts
Birder Gifts
Gifts for yourself or the birders, bird watchers, in your life's special moments like Birthdays, Christmas or just to let them know you love and appreciate them
Not only do you get to identify it by look or by sound but it keeps the information for you to go back to when you get home. Wouldn't be without it. I've met many other birders when they were using it also.
Merlin Bird ID - Home
Love the quality of this shirt and the subject is great too especially if you love seagulls and beaches like I do.

These little packs are great and the birds love them. Yes, you can make your own but that assumes you have the time to but until then enjoy watching a variety of birds enjoy much needed fat during the winter months.

Great Value Wild Bird Food 4kg, GV WILD BIRD 4KG
Wonderful invention just two things to remember. 1. There is a weight limit 2. Make sure your window is very clean, perhaps even wipe it with alcohol before applying the suction cups or you will have a disaster when a few birds land,
WINDOW BIRD FEEDER, Perky-Pet Window Bird Feeder – 1/2 Lb Capacity
I've owned many of these over the years and the birds seem to love them. They scatter a fair amount of the seeds onto the ground which seems like a loss but there are many little birds like sparrows and quail who appreciate scratching around underneath. Keep an eye out for cats who hide in the bushes around. Try to place it near a bush or tree so the birds can come and go safely and retreat into the leaves when needed as hawks will also hunt them there.
Wild Bird Feeder Plastic Hanging Tube Bird Feeder Bird Seed Feeder for Garden
This is a lovely mix of seeds and nuts without the accumulation of shells that appears after a few weeks of feeding the birds. It also attracts nut loving birds like jays and cardinals
Happy Garden No-Mess Mix, Premium Bird Seed with No Shells, 6 lb
Wonderful addition to your backyard. Water is often more important to attracting wildlife than food especially during the hot summer months. I find it attracts bees and othe pollinating insects which helps your garden and the environment too. Many birds that would never come to a feeder will stop and refresh themselves with drinking and bathing.

These little bells are a fun thing for your children and grandchildren to do. You can hang them in random places. If you don't have a good spot for a regular bird feeder these may be the answer as you could easily move them around until you found a spot the birds liked.

I've had many of these hummingbird feeders. They are reasonably priced and easy to use. The birds love them and they are so popular that they make it easy for the birds to come because they've seen so many of them.
Perky-Pet Pinch Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder, 8 oz wide mouth bottle
The great thing about this one is you can hang it in a variety of places. Sometimes a spot just isn't appealing to the birds and you need to move it so this one allows you different ways to attach it.
More Birds 3-in-1 Hummingbird Feeder - Red Hanging Multi-Use Feeder with 6oz Nectar Capacity & Bee Guard, 3-in-1 Hummingbird Feeder
Wonderful bird bath for your yard or garden. I visited an older lady who said if you want birds in your yard don't worry about food as much as you worry about water. It will attract them much quicker. She was right you may only get the birds who like your bird seed but with water you will get a variety that come especially when it's warm out.
SPECSTAR Bird Bath, 28 inch Height Polyresin Lightweight Antique Outdoor Garden Birdbath Gray - Walmart.com
A nice high quality binoculars which you should keep close at hand because the rarest birds always come when they are out of reach. If you get desparate and they aren't handy take a picture with your phone then enlarge it.

Plus if you fill a backpack with all these items it would make a great gift for a child, teen or adult who may be starting out in birdwatching.

If you can't handle oat snacks like most of the granola bars are then why not these delicious nuts {if you're not allergic} Walmart nuts are always fresh because they sell so many. I have found a stale one yet. Perfect for birdwatching plus you can brush off the salt and feed the squirrels that are checking you out wondering what you're doing.

Just purchased this lovely little lamp for my grandson who loves all bird things. He was so impressed. Not only is it a great piece of art but you have a choice of lights of either white or a warm glow. You can sit it on the table or hang it. It charges with a usb cable. It's very well made. I'm impressed.
