Summer Backyard Collection

The birds really love the bird food. I am very happy with the excitement they display when I come out with food.

The Downy woodpeckers love it! I use hot pepper seeds so our squirrel friends stay away :)

So happy to dee the variety of birds in my yard

This birdseed is perfect! The birds eat it up and are always yelling for more!

My birds absolutely LOVE the suet cakes!! I go thru one every few days. It has attracted a couple new birds that come just for the suet not the seed - flicker and woodpecker. My little ones are really crazy for it too, they eat both the suet and the seed. Have a bunch of pigeons that come for the seed but not the suet, which is good because then one cake wouldn't last more than a day or two.

Summer Feeding Season Blend - five pound bag

I could see and hear goldfinches around our yard, but they never visited my bird feeders. Within 2 days of putting the Finch and Bunting Blend in a new feeder they started coming by! Between the house finches and the goldfinches, I’m refilling the feeder quite often - they love this blend!!

The products from this company are top notch from the food to the feeders. I've ordered many things and have always been happy.

Simply Seeds HappySeed Box

I hung my hummingbird feeder out with Susan’s hummingbird nectar for the first time in several years. I haven’t seen a bird at the feeder yet but I did have one checking me out until I unfortunately scared it away. So it’s only a matter of time before they’re at the feeder. I also love the easy pour spout! So easy to use.

Red Bird Family really enjoy Summer Feeding Season Seed Blend. The other birds
eat mostly the light colored seed and leave the dark seed in Finch and Bunting Seed Blend. I have 4 occupied Blue Bird nesting Boxes but have not seen BBs in feeders. Also Morning Doves who enjoy everything.

Amish-made Recycled Hopper Feeder

The birds love these- especially the catbirds!

I started feeding the birds a few years ago, wanting to make their hard lives a bit easier, and found I was instead endlessly battling aggressive birds and squirrels but attracting few birds that I’d hoped for. I thought buying pricy seed blends from the local bird store was the best I could do.
All that changed dramatically when I finally found this wonderful family company, Happy Birdwatcher.
A complete transformation happened here that I wouldn’t have believed had I not seen (and heard) it myself.
I’d always been put off by the chemical smells of the store bought seeds, probably due to being stored in plastic bags, plus seeds that weren’t very fresh. I now realize the poor birds weren’t impressed either.
Everything about this company was immediately different, from their beautiful, sturdy, recyclable packaging to the food and feeders they curate to the true personalized care.
The magic though, was what happened in my backyard within a couple of weeks of switching.
Birds, it turns out, use a much more effective method of getting the word out than our paltry social media. Suddenly, all kinds of colorful birds I'd never seen before began appearing in my yard, visiting my feeders. Within a week or so, the starlings and grackles decided I wasn’t their favorite restaurant to vandalize anymore.
Then I noticed something about the way I felt. I couldn’t pinpoint it until a neighbor remarked that she just felt so serene on my porch. I almost took it as a personal compliment. That was until she said, “you have so many birds, it’s so peaceful here, I just feel better!” The bird songs were acting like a mental reset. Who knew. My Merlin app was bearing this out listening to 14-18 different birds at a time I’d never had here before. Then I read studies that correlate a diverse population of birds and the songs they bring, acting as a signal to our nervous system that we are safe and sound and thriving.
I’m so grateful beyond words to Susan, the creator of this wonderful company, who continually brings me joy through her heartfelt, humor filled letters and Sam, her data scientist husband, who refers to himself as the delivery guy:), both such stellar humans!
Never would I have imagined a birdseed company could change my life, and of course the many birds here, in ways that truly matter.

It took a few days, but my birds now love the mealworms. I have noticed that after it rains and the worms get wet the birds seem to like them better.
