Birds

Owning or watching birds can be fun and entertaining. If you’d like to learn what your pet bird needs to be happy – whether you have a parakeet or a Macaw – you can find the answers here; if you’d rather hang out in the woods or the park and chart the birds you see, we can help you with that, too. Many people who enjoy bird watching choose to engage in this activity during the seasons of migration due to the large number of birds migrating at that time, but our articles can help you choose the best times for bird watching in your area. Bird watching is a hobby that anyone can enjoy, from the famously dedicated such as John James Audubon to the fifth grader who has a homework assignment to catalog local bird species.

Our articles also cover any and all aspects of owning a pet bird. Learn how to keep birds healthy in your home, which bird species need to have companions in captivity, how to breed finches, and more. If your bird’s diet needs a little variety, you can learn here which foods are best to add to different species’ food bowls; you can also find out which types of toys are the best for each type of bird and when it’s okay to have other pets in the house with a pet bird. The authors who write our articles are all experts or experienced bird owners or bird watchers, and they have a wealth of advice on nearly every topic concerning birds.
