Welcome to r/BackyardFeederFriends

Welcome, backyard wildlife lovers! We’re a friendly, family-oriented community for anyone who enjoys observing and helping the creatures that visit our yards: birds at the feeders, squirrels foraging about, rabbits sniffing around, possums on a quiet night, and more. Our goal is to celebrate nature, share humane feeding tips, and learn together while keeping wildlife safe and wild.

What you’ll find here

• Photos and stories of your backyard visitors (birds, squirrels, rabbits, possums, etc.)

• Humane feeding tips: seed blends, feeders, placement, timing, and what foods to offer or avoid

• Habitat ideas: plants, water sources, nesting options, and predator awareness

• Seasonal tips: bird migrations, cozy winter setups, spring nesting, fall foraging

• Etiquette and safety: respectful observations, keeping pets safe, and local wildlife laws
