If you are looking for an exciting and educational project to enjoy with your child— Kaytee® Products provides the perfect solution by helping to transform your backyard into a ‘wild bird’ habitat.

Feeding wild birds introduces children to the fun and fascination of nature. A child who is captivated by birds at a feeder is a child who will appreciate and respect nature through their lives.

Observing birds can also introduce children to the wonders of science. Kids can count the birds, learn to name the species and even devise experiments to discover which seeds attract the most birds. The educational possibilities grow with your children.

Kaytee® Products shows how easy and fun for the entire family the process is.

You need three things for your wild bird feeding experience:

• Adequate cover. Birds are constantly at risk of being killed by predators so they need safe places like trees and bushes close by to which they can escape.
• A supply of water. Most birds need to drink several times every day so an easy source of clean water makes a yard more attractive to birds. Birds also use water for bathing.
• And, of course, a well-designed feeder filled the right sort of food.

Bird feeding is a hobby that appeals to people from all walks of life. It’s actually the second largest hobby in the United States-- after gardening. Maintaining bird feeders is popular because it’s easy, inexpensive, and the payoff is endless enjoyment of the birds and their songs right in your own yard.

For a successful wild bird feeding experience Kaytee® Products recommends their new line of feeders and seed blends that are really unique:

• The Hopper Feeder will attract the largest variety of birds, along with Regional Blends (seed blends formulated for the area you live in).

• The patent pending Platform Feeder has been tested and shown to reduce visitation of squirrels as well as common grackles, red-winged blackbirds, brown-headed cowbirds and other blackbird species.


Many people get frustrated with wild birding if they don’t see instant results and abandon the activity. Remember, it takes a little time for the birds to discover the treats in your backyard. Just have a little patience… 'if you build it-- they will come'.
