What's in the box: A box holds birdseed blended for your ZIP code and local birds, along with a personal letter covering birds to watch for that month, bird facts, and birdwatching tips.
The Happy Birdwatcher Co. sells subscription birdseed boxes tailored to where you live. The company blends seed for your ZIP code, the birds found in your area, and the species you would like to see more often. The aim is simple: take the guesswork out of buying birdseed so more kinds of birds visit your feeder. The founder appeared on ABC's Shark Tank, and the brand features that prominently. There are three box tiers, Starter, Simply Seeds, and Splendid, with Starter priced from $36.00. A gift subscription is also offered, starting at $145.00. Each box comes with a personal letter listing birds to watch for in your area that month, plus bird facts and practical birdwatching tips. That extra content makes it feel like more than a bag of seed, which is a real plus for newer backyard birders. The shop also sells individual five pound bags, such as Cardinal Classic and a Hot Pepper Blend, so you can try a blend before you commit. The site does not clearly explain delivery frequency, bag sizes per tier, or cancellation terms on its homepage, so check those before signing up. Each tier shows dozens of reviews, but compare the cost against local feed stores if price matters to you.
