Is there a bird watcher on your gift list? Probably. The number of bird-watching enthusiasts has really multiplied recently. As you consider the recipient, think about their favorite bird(s). Here’s a handy-dandy list of ideas that can be tailored to your special person.
First, think about what’s outside that brings in the birds. Technology recently introduced a new wonderful array of backyard bird items. Using AI and cameras, they get up-close and personal with the birds. But don’t stop there. Think about what’s inside on their walls. AzarÉl Greetings has jaw-dropping photography of your favorite birds. So, bring the outdoors inside with unusual wall décor. In addition, one can never have enough comfy clothing. Accessorizing with jewelry is always creative. This gift guide is a wonderful springboard to individualize your gift.
SECTION 1: GIFTS FOR THE BACKYARD
These gifts might help a backyard birder enjoy their hobby even more.
Smart Bird Feeders
Smart camera-equipped bird feeders allow bird watchers get up close and personal. Here are three recommended resources to help you find the best fit for you.
1. Don’t buy a smart bird feeder until you watch this Ultimate Buyer’s Guide from Badgerland Birding: https://shorturl.at/dFn6R
This eleven minute video is most helpful. It allows you to see and hear the review. Smart bird feeders are divided into four tiers:
…..Lowest Least-Expensive Tier: Camera cases and trail cameras
….Second Tier: Chinese manufactured that look very similar
…..Third Tier: Well-known feeders like Birdbuddy, Netvue, Bird Kiss type cameras
…..Durable Tier: Metal smart bird feeders
2. This article from the Chicago Tribune lists important considerations before you buy. For example, did you know that some smart bird feeders require a monthly subscription to store video images or access the app? Read it here: https://shorturl.at/3p3tp

Heated Bird Bath or Bird Bath Heater and De-Icer
One of the most important things is a powder coated finish that is easy-to-clean. Plastic can become stained. A simple, large, shallow cake-pan look is what the birds need in the cold winter months. It can be clamp mounted to the deck railing, fastened to a vertical post, or given short legs to place on the ground.
My “pick” for a heated bird bath is Audobon’s 3-in-1 Heated Bird Bath: https://www.theaudubonshop.com/product/3-in-1-heated-bird-bath/
Just a note: Bowl-shaped heated bird baths create different depths of water. Create shallower depths by placing flat flagstones in the bath.
Bird Bath De-Icer
Maybe there already is an existing bird bath. In that case, there are standalone heaters that can be added to the bath. This site gives four great picks ranging in price from $31.50 to $65

Bird Bath Dripper
Birds prefer moving water. Fortunately, I had an indoor fountain that was no longer being used. It quickly became an outdoor fountain that the birds love!
Many fountains spray water out of the bird bath, quickly draining it. That’s why a dripper is a good consideration. Check out this universal dripper for any bird bath at The Audobon Shop:

Familiar backyard birds ride a 1939 American Flyer train. Most of the birds in this photo have jobs on the railroad. The blue jay, with his claw on the cow catcher, is definitely in charge! The birds can practically feel his steely-eyed gaze as he oversees the whole operation. The tufted titmouse is the fireman. He’s very daring as he crosses between the cars. We’re going to skip the nuthatch for the moment. The cardinal is an oil baron, checking on his valuable shipment. The chickadee, with his endless energy, is the flagman. He hops off the train with a lantern or flags and keeps the train safe. The nuthatch at the boxcar is watching the blue jay with intensity. As soon as the blue jay looks away, this little hobo is hopping the train for a free ride! The American Flyer train on the giclée canvas print is pre-war, possibly 1939, O-27 gauge. Food was used to lure them in and was removed from the photo. The image is composed of five separate photographs. The blue jay would never put up with such nonsense!
