AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical, playful guide to feeding backyard birds

Birdfeeding 101 combines hands-on backyard bird-feeding guidance with the author’s “tongue-in-beak” framing. Its topics extend beyond choosing seed: the book covers creating a bird-friendly outdoor space, building nesting boxes, and preparing suet mixtures. A recurring practical challenge—squirrels at the feeder—gets dedicated attention, including an imagined look at their motivations and the difficulty of deterring them. The emphasis stays on the everyday decisions involved in making a yard more hospitable to birds and other visiting wildlife.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Backyard bird-feeding beginners seeking practical guidance
  • Homeowners interested in bird-friendly yards and nesting boxes
  • Readers curious about feeder-raiding squirrels and wildlife visitors

Book overview

In a tongue-in-beak fashion, Richard E. Mallery, a.k.a "Dick E. Bird" the founder of the popular Dick E. Bird News, shows you everything you need to know about backyard bird feeding. Chock-full of solid advice and uncommon wisdom, this book explains how to create a bird-friendly environment, build a nesting box, mix delectable suet dishes, and a whole lot more. It is the only bird feeding book that goes inside the head of a squirrel to see what makes him tick, and explain why it's almost impossible to keep these ingenious fur balls from raiding your bird feeders. Bird feeding 101 is a great resource and an ideal gift for anyone interested in attracting wildlife to the backyard.
