What is PROJECT WILDBIRD?

PROJECT WILDBIRD is a landmark study of seed and feeder preferences of wild birds in the United States and Canada. From September 2005 through August 2008, PROJECT WILDBIRD will scientifically study the feeds and feeders preferred by birds in different eco-regions and seasons. Upon completion, PROJECT WILDBIRD will be the most comprehensive study on bird feeding ever performed. The study results will provide people who feed birds with scientifically-substantiated recommendations on the best feeds and feeders to attract birds.

PROJECT WILDBIRD is the inaugural study of the WBFI Research Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable foundation promoting the scientific study of wild bird feeding.

Within this website, you will find an overview of the study, how you can support PROJECT WILDBIRD through your financial and in-kind contributions, and how you can become a citizen scientist and participate in PROJECT WILDBIRD.
