Want to attract more birds than just seed-eaters? Discover how fruit, nectar, mealworms, peanuts, and suet can bring orioles, hummingbirds, bluebirds and more into your backyard.

Choosing the right bird seed can make the difference between attracting colorful songbirds—or feeding a crowd of seed-hogging bullies. Learn which seeds bring in cardinals, finches, woodpeckers and more.

Hummingbirds are among the most remarkable birds in North America. Some species migrate more than 2,000 miles each year—and many Ruby-throated Hummingbirds even cross the Gulf of Mexico in a nonstop flight. In this guide we explore hummingbird distribution across the United States, famous hummingbird hotspots like southeastern Arizona and south Texas, and how backyard feeders can help these tiny travelers refuel during their incredible journeys.

Backyard bird feeding can help birds — or harm them. Learn what seed to use, which feeders work best, and how to feed responsibly.
