We are excited to announce the 2026 recipients of the Birds Canada Community Grant, whose inspiring projects will work to propel bird conservation forward to protect the birds we love.

An important part of welcoming birds to your outdoor space is to provide feeders and birdbaths safely. Here are our guidelines.  

Many bird species time their migration and breeding activities to coincide with insect emergence. However, under a changing climate, this perfect timing doesn’t happen as often.

Learn about an endearing species and it’s fascinating range expansion – knowledge gained with the help of Atlas volunteers.

Orioles are so much fun to attract to your backyard with their bright colours, beautiful song, and sock-like nests. Follow these simple steps for attracting and feeding orioles while creating a safe environment for them.
