Help Birds by Joining Project FeederWatch!

Birds need our help, and your backyard is a powerful place to start. Scientists have documented major declines in bird populations over the past several decades with nearly 3 billion birds lost since 1970. But everyday people can play a role in turning that trend around. Participating in Project FeederWatch is a simple way to make an impact.

Wild Birds Unlimited is proud to sponsor Project FeederWatch, operated by our partners at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Birds Canada.

From November through April across the U.S. and Canada, Project FeederWatch invites participants to count the birds they see at feeders or nearby viewing spots. Those observations are shared with researchers, helping track population changes, migration patterns, and long-term winter trends.

No experience is required. Families, classrooms, retirees, backyard hobbyists, and lifelong birders are all welcome. Count as often as once a week or only occasionally, the schedule is flexible.

DID YOU KNOW?

WBU Brookfield continues to host our Bring a Bag Fundraiser to support community and promote sustainable living. Each time you shop in our store with a reusable bag, we donate to a local organization.

Bring a bag, do some good!

For every bag saved, you get a Charity Chip (worth $0.25) to drop into the bird feeder ("donation station") of your choice; we feature two organizations at a time.

For more info on our prior (WINC, WCLC, BRAW, WPMA) and current (WSO, LMBO) orgs, see "Local/Regional Partnerships" to the left.

We believe small actions can have a big impact. Join us in giving back. Let's make a difference, one bag at a time! ♥
