How we choose
Research you can trust, explained in plain English
We think like the birds
Seed type, perch size and placement come first, because that is what decides which birds visit.
We read what backyard birders say
Squirrel battles, leaks, cleaning and how a feeder survives the weather shape every pick.
We are upfront about money
