Welcome to the world of backyard birds! Birding (feeding and watching wild birds) is the second most popular outdoor activity in America, second only to gardening. Amazingly, as many as 30 to 40% of total US households feed and watch birds.
As more land is used to accommodate the ever growing human population, yards and city parks become important bird habitat. Diversified landscaping and feeding stations offer an oasis of resources in the middle of the human domain.
Feeding and watching birds gives families the opportunity to practice conservation right in their own yards. Children can learn and enjoy the wonders of nature right from the kitchen window. Children will be able to observe the hatching of young chicks and learn how many birds help control the insect population.
Variety is the key to attracting a diversity of birds and wildlife to your backyard oasis. Kaytee offers a variety of quality foods to attract many different species to your yard.
