Bird Feeder Web was born out of a simple passion for connecting with nature right in my own backyard. I’m Courtney Dalton, and over the years, I’ve spent countless mornings and afternoons observing birds, learning what they need, and figuring out how to make my yard a welcoming haven for them. This site is my way of sharing everything I’ve learned about backyard bird feeding and building DIY bird feeders that really work.
I started this journey because, like many bird lovers, I wanted more than just a pretty view; I wanted to understand how to care for these little visitors in a way that’s safe and sustainable. There’s so much conflicting advice out there, and I realized how important it is to rely on experience and proven methods rather than guesswork. What you’ll find here are tips and projects I’ve tested myself, often through trial and error, so you don’t have to waste time or money on things that don’t work well or might even harm the birds.
Bird Feeder Web isn’t about quick fixes or flashy gimmicks. It’s about honest, practical advice rooted in real-life experience. Whether you’re just starting out or have been feeding birds for years, I want this to be a resource you can trust—one that encourages you to observe carefully, feed responsibly, and enjoy the unique joy that comes from watching birds thrive in your own backyard. This site exists because I know how rewarding it is to make a small space feel alive with feathered friends, and I want to help you do the same.
