Why This Site Exists

It started with a simple question from my neighbor about why birds weren't using her new $200 feeder. I figured I'd spend 20 minutes researching and give her a quick answer.

That was 18 months ago. Since then, I've gone completely down the rabbit hole of bird feeding science, tested 47 different feeders, analyzed the physics of seed dispensing, studied bird psychology, and accidentally become an expert on squirrel warfare tactics.

Most bird feeder sites give you generic lists and call it a day. Here, we go deep. Really deep. Because when you understand the why behind bird behavior, feeder engineering, and yes, squirrel psychology, you can solve problems that most people didn't even know existed.
