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.

Strong partnerships are at the heart of effective bird conservation, and the growing relationship between Timiskaming First Nation (TFN) and Birds Canada embodies that spirit.

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. A recent study using long-term data from LPBO demonstrated that Tree Swallows are breeding earlier as temperatures warm over time.

Bird Atlases across the country are providing insights into our most-loved species, but one that is sometimes overlooked is the Orchard Oriole (the Baltimore Oriole steals the attention!). 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.

Feeding birds is a wonderful way to connect with nature, support local wildlife, and enjoy the beauty of feathered friends right in your backyard. But to make the most of this rewarding hobby, it’s essential to choose the right feeder and seed type while maintaining a clean and safe environment for your avian visitors. Here’s how to do it.
