When purchasing bird seed from large retailers, you often end up with a standard mix of fillers like millet, milo, wheat, and sunflower seeds. Observant birdwatchers will notice that birds typically select their preferred seeds, discarding the rest onto the ground. While there are products designed to minimize the mess, imagine a scenario where every seed in your feeder is irresistible to your feathered visitors, causing them to flock to your yard all day long!
This is where The Happy Birdwatcher Co. comes in. By utilizing data from local bird sightings, the company creates custom seed blends tailored to support the bird species in your area. With just a few clicks through a brief quiz, you can discover a bird seed mix perfect for your ZIP code, feeder type, and the specific birds you wish to attract — from clever crows to charming chickadees and beyond. In addition to offering birds a natural, healthy diet, Happy Birdwatcher promises to enhance customer satisfaction and alleviate anxiety through the joys of birdwatching. Despite an unsuccessful appearance on “Shark Tank” leaving the company without investors, Happy Birdwatcher’s products have thrived in the market.
The personalized seed blends have garnered outstanding reviews, with 98% of customers awarding them five stars on their website. Many users have reported increased feeder activity and a greater variety of bird species after switching to Happy Birdwatcher. Let’s delve into what bird enthusiasts are appreciating about Happy Birdwatcher’s innovative seed blends and highlight some potential areas for improvement.
Reviewers Praised the Boost in Bird Activity and Diversity
Choosing the right type of birdseed to attract your favorite birds can be a daunting task, often involving some trial and error. The Happy Birdwatcher Co. simplifies this process, allowing customers to enjoy a straightforward ordering experience and the ability to select the specific birds they wish to attract. While most reviews didn’t focus much on the proclaimed mental health benefits of birdwatching, customers found the seed to be highly effective in attracting birds to their feeders. For those who had become accustomed to seeing the same birds year after year, spotting a new or rare species was a delightful surprise. The products were praised for their freshness and superior quality, as well as the company’s attentive customer service and thoughtful packaging. Unlike other birdseed brands, Happy Birdwatcher uses plastic-free packaging, and for every 10 pounds of birdseed sold, donates $1 to support addiction recovery and mental health services.
Some of the most praised items were the specialty seed blends and suet cakes. A few customers expressed slightly less enthusiasm for the company’s Everyday blend. It’s also worth noting that Happy Birdwatcher does not adjust its formulas seasonally, so even with customized seeds, your feeder might not be perfectly stocked for every season. Priced at $36 for a Starter HappySeed Box containing a 10-pound Everyday seed bag, it is more expensive than generic brands, but many find it to be a worthwhile investment.
