Nature in your yard.
Bring the wild birds home.
Everything here comes from a real backyard in Ohio, with real feeders and a real squirrel problem. Guides on what to buy, what to skip, and how to actually get woodpeckers, cardinals, and everybody else to show up.
Getting Started
Three steps to a lively backyard
Choose your spot. Pick the right gear. Watch your garden come alive.
1
Pick your spot
Ten to fifteen feet from a tree or shrub. Birds won't cross open lawn to reach you.
2
Pick a feeder
A wire suet cage is the cheapest thing you can buy and one of the best.
3
Fill and wait
Give it two weeks. The first feeder takes the longest.
