Bird Enthusiasts spend millions of dollars each year in their efforts to help sustain birds with the placement of bird feeders and food in their backyards. This guide helps teach users how to select feeders and food, including information on feeder placement, the importance of grit and how to provide it, and the necessity of water sources. Also provided are tips on discouraging unwanted feeder visitors.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. Their hallmarks are scientific excellence and technological innovation to advance the understanding of nature and to engage people of all ages in learning about birds and protecting the planet. Founded in 1915, the Cornell Lab is a nonprofit organization whose vibrant community includes 400,000 citizen-science participants from all walks of life and 14 million bird enthusiasts of all ages who connect online at All About Birds. With 650+ titles in print and 6.5 million copies sold, Waterford Press publishes the largest line of folding-format reference guides in the industry. Our mission is to connect people to the natural world by making knowledge about wildlife identification, outdoor recreation, travel, and safety and survival skills accessible to a wide audience. Dr. Emma Greig is the team leader for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project FeederWatch, a major citizen-science program that engages bird watchers in a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. FeederWatch data help scientists track broadscale movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance. Emma holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and has studied birds in Australia, Malaysia, and most recently, the Sonoran Desert, the hottest desert of North America.
