About Bird Feeder Setup

Bird Feeder Setup exists to answer the practical questions of backyard bird feeding with numbers: how far from the window, how high the baffle, what hole size, how much sugar, which binocular.

Who runs it?

Bird Feeder Setup is run by Glen, who publishes a small group of independent reference sites. It is a research site: there is no team of field observers or product testers behind it, and nothing here claims hands-on trials. The how we pick page explains how recommendations are chosen, and the contact page reaches the person who maintains the site.

How is the site researched?

Figures on this site are researched from published sources, cited here as plain text: the Cornell Lab of Ornithology NestWatch nest box dimension tables and Project FeederWatch guidance, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service publication "Homes for Birds", the Audubon Society hummingbird nectar guidance, the American Bird Conservancy window collision guidance, and manufacturer specification sheets for every product we list. We do not run hands-on product trials and never claim to. Product picks come from published specifications, manufacturer documentation and verified owner reviews.

How does the site make money?

Product links go to Amazon, and we may earn a commission when you buy. That never changes what we recommend, and several pages recommend spending less, or nothing at all.
