Eastern Birds fly through your yard and you wonder if they'd use a feeder. Or perhaps you think it would be fun to get a nestbox to see if they would use it to raise their next family. To help out, we've compiled list of birds in the Eastern U.S. known to use feeders and/or nestboxes. The birds are divided alphabetically into Groups. NOTE: Please visit Western Birds in Your Backyard and Beyond for the bird list for the Western U.S. Invite birds to your yard with a wide selection of bird feeders, then select your feeders from the best available today. Putting up a species-specific nestbox is the best way to entice your visiting birds to stay and raise a family. What a great educational project for your children, or a way for you to enjoy one of Mother Nature's most fascinating events. Here is a way for you to determine what type and size of a nestbox is appropriate for most species. Once you've decided then choose from a large selection of great nestboxes.
