Welcome to PROJECT WILDBIRD!

PROJECT WILDBIRD is a landmark study of seed and feeder preferences of wild birds in the United States and Canada that began in September 2005 and continues through December 2008.

WANTED: Your Views on Wild Bird Feeding

PROJECT WILDBIRD is inviting all people who feed birds in the United States and Canada to participate in the study by completing an online survey of your backyard feeding experiences. The survey asks people about why they feed birds and what will make the bird feeding experience better. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and is ideal for individuals of all ages with a passion for wild birds. By tallying the surveys completed across the U.S. and Canada, we will have a better understanding of how the bird feeding experience can be enhanced. This will lead to greater enjoyment by the general public for feeding the birds.

More Information about PROJECT WILDBIRD

PROJECT WILDBIRD is a scientific study of feeds and feeders preferred by birds in different geographic regions and seasons of the year. 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.
