Western Birds
in Your Backyard and Beyond

Bluebird on Flowers

Western Birds fly through your yard and you wonder if they'd use a Bird Feeder. Or perhaps you think it would be fun to get a Bird House (nest box) to see if they would use it to raise their next family. To help out, we've compiled list of birds in the Western U.S. known to use feeders and/or nestboxes. The birds are divided alphabetically into Groups. NOTE: Please visit Eastern Birds in Your Backyard and Beyond for the bird list for the Eastern 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 Bird House (nest box) is the best way to entice your visiting cavity-nesting 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 fascinating events.  Here is a way for you to determine what type and size Bird House (nest box) is appropriate for most species.  Once you've decided then choose from a large selection of great Bird Houses.
