“My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird— equal seekers of sweetness.”

— Mary Oliver

The closing lines of Oliver’s uplifting poem celebrate the simplicity of caring for everything we love about nature, most especially our birds. Let’s get to it!

A Pledge to Be a Better Buddy to our Birds.

This May 10th, for World Migratory Bird Day, Bird Buddy and The National Audubon Society are joining forces to tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time: North America has lost nearly 3 billion birds since 1970—a staggering decline fueled by vanishing habitats and dwindling resources.

But there’s hope. Together, we can turn the tide.

By creating bird-friendly spaces in our backyards, we offer sanctuary to migratory species and rebuild the ecosystems they depend on. Let’s support actionable change—and learn simple steps we can all take to protect birds today, tomorrow, and for generations.

Our birds need us. Let’s answer the call. Join the pledge.

At Bird Buddy, every day is Earth Day.

And we know you feel the same way. Last week was Earth week, but to the BB community, it’s a 365 day commitment. It isn’t just about appreciating the planet, it’s a rallying cry to protect our feathered ambassadors! Birds act as living barometers for environmental health, and there’s so much we can do. Here are 52 simple actions and tips to make a difference, every day of the year. It could be anything from cutting plastic consumption to advocating for climate control. How about planting native flowers and shrubs that shelter local wildlife? And here’s a nugget of inspiration- one tree alone can sustain up to 500 insect species, turning every leafy giant into a buzzing diner for hungry beaks.

Our Kickstarter Hits $2M (and Petal Just Got a Glow-Up!)

We’re thrilled to share an update on our Petal and Wonder Blocks Kickstarter campaign that’s running right now. Thanks to you, our incredible BirdBuddy Community, we’ve raised over $2 million to bring the Petal and Wonder Blocks to life! This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the passion and support of all of you.

This just in: We've just added another new feature to every Petal, to help you capture stunning photos of nature around your home. It's a dual-wavelength (White and Blue) LED Ring. You’ll have full-control over the light, and will be able to switch it on and off remotely, as well as set it to “auto-mode” to act as a flashlight when taking photos in the dark. Oh, and did we mention it looks seriously cool? Thank you for making innovations like this possible—we can’t wait for you all to try one!!

Be sure to join our official Facebook Community page to share your own photos and stories.
