Sponsors
We’re grateful to the following sponsors who make Talkin’ Birds possible!
Bird Watcher's General Store is owned and operated by bird expert Mike O'Connor. (Read more about Mike on our Contributors page.) The store sells everything from bird bath brushes to hummingbird feeders, as well as bird-themed gifts and all kinds of bird books. Mike has offered advice on attracting birds to your backyard on Talkin' Birds since the beginning of the show in 2006!
Coffee plants only grow in the tropics, and these days most coffee farmers cut down all the trees on their plantation to plant the coffee plants. But this leaves no native trees for the birds that rely on them to live! Birds and Beans Coffee is shade-grown, which means the farmers leave an upper story of native trees and plant their coffee plants below — much better for the birds! To learn more about bird-friendly coffee, check out their website. If you win the Mystery Bird Contest, one of your prizes will be a 12oz bag of Birds and Beans Coffee!
