New and wonderful.

I love your products. I have changed my birds’ food in the past, only to see they didn’t approve of the change, but they love every new product from The Happy Birdwatcher Co. Thank you!

Great bird food

The birds absolutely love this food. They are on the birdfeeder all day long. I have to constantly refill it. Love watching them.

Happy Birds - Sad Squirrels!

The hot pepper seed is a game changer for keeping the squirrels out of my bird buddy feeder! and the finch seed mix is the first I’ve found that keeps the finches coming back for more. There is never any waste as I’ve experienced with other bird feed. Thanks for making the birds in my area happy!!

Cardinal Classic Blend

Even though I live west of the Rockies and not in Cardinal territory, several related species of birds visit my feeder and enjoy the Cardinal Classic Blend. I appreciate that I can get this blend by subscription and keep my birds well fed throughout the year.

Be Patient But Use the Spicy Mix If You Have Dogs

I waited a few weeks before I intended to leave a review. At first, I tried putting it up on my dog's crates so that the feeder was out of their reach but that's too unnatural for my finches, sparrows and doves so I resolved to put it on the lawn and walk the dogs for a few weeks instead of letting them outside.

I have two shibas so they can eat spicy for some reason! Anyway, hubby and I now have a good system going where the birds actually prefer this ground feeder to the hanging one (not HB brand). The tube feeder can have a rest, too. We don't have any bluebirds or carnivorous birds that I can see, so I might have to unsubscribe the mealworms for now.

Very well-made, weather-proofed feeder and I appreciate that air can circulate via the mess screen on the bottom.

A nice surprise!

I had not given my birds dried mealworms before and I think they were pleasantly surprised, They gobbled them up!

Birds of a feather, say no to plastic

Ok, that might not be how the saying goes. The truth is we care about birds, people, and the planet and therefore use only paper product bags, recyclable boxes, and fully compostable transparent pouches.
