These Nikon Prostaff 3S binoculars come highly recommended by Audubon who are a leading non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of birds in the US. The binoculars offer great value for money with superior clarity, brightness, and color rendition than others in the sub-$100 category.

It has a dedicated smartphone holder for getting some decent photos of any wildlife that might visit your garden. The photos might not be award-winning just yet, but it’s a lovely gift to help an amateur birder get started with bird photography.


Bird Bingo

Bird Bingo is exactly what you think it is. A fun game of Bingo that uses different bird species rather than numbers. Each player has a bingo card to mark off the birds as they are drawn at random, but who will complete their cards first? Included are 64 different bird tokens along with a leaflet that provides interesting and insightful facts about each of the birds in the game. This is a great group activity suitable for up to 6 players at a time.

Each edition contains spotlights on spotting birds for each season, DIY projects such as bird boxes, bird watching tips, and information about endangered species.

Wooden Wall Art

This piece of wall art is based on an original piece of work by Dave Bartholet featuring a stunning and elegant-looking swan. It has been recreated on 4 solid wood panels for a rustic effect that will compliment any home interior. However, it doesn’t have to stay inside, it’s made with all-weather UV-protected ink which means it is suitable for outdoor use too.


Personalized Pet Bird Print

The best gift for parrot owners is this personalized pet bird print. Using a photo of their parrot that you provide at checkout, the designer will create a hilarious portrait like the one shown here for your approval. The design will then be printed onto 175gsm fine art paper (in a choice of sizes) ready to gift that special someone in your life who loves their pet parrot more than anything. Whilst the image shows a parrot, this would work for any type of pet bird including finch and dove. We recommend pairing this print with a suitably sized frame so it can take pride of place on your giftees wall.

The book now contains more than 1,000 different species of bird found across the continent along with expert illustrations of each, interesting facts, and hundreds of maps to help understand their habitats.


Effin’ Birds: A Field Guide to Identification 

If the National Geographic field guide is a bit too serious for your recipient, this Effin’ Birds alternative field guide might be a better pick. Don’t expect any useful information here, instead, expect a funny take on birding with rude expressions and insults throughout. The book is based on the popular Effin’ Birds twitter feed which went viral for its tongue-in-cheek illustrations.


Spoontiques Diner Birdhouse

Following on from the Effin’ Birds field guide, Spoontiques birdhouses are another funny gift idea for bird lovers. There are hundreds of themes to choose from including a golf bag, church, or firebox. We particularly love this American diner birdhouse and think it will look great in the backyard.

The adorable felt planters are all handmade to order so you can customize the base color with more than 28 different options to choose from. It doesn’t come with the plant, however, we’d recommend pairing it with a succulent from your local store for the perfect combination.


Flamingo Wine Bottle Holder

Birds come in all shapes and sizes so let’s not forget the larger ones. This funny wine bottle holder is a perfect gift idea for flamingo lovers! The novelty holder will bring some character to any home whilst also providing a handy spot to store their booze with style.

Plus, the included booklet will provide lots of surprising stats about the birds in question to keep them educated along the way.


Faux Leather Chala Bag

If you’re buying a gift for a woman obsessed with owls, this bag from Chala is perfect for many reasons. The obvious reason is the super cute owl that adorns the side of the bag. However, Chala are known for being huge animal welfare advocates too. So, all of their products are vegan and they donate 5% of their profits to Heart and Home Animal Rescue Foundation. The bag itself is very functional with several pockets and a secure zipper-protected main compartment.


Stay Coo Mug

You can’t beat a mug with a 5-star pun across the side and this pigeon mug sure does deliver. If you’re buying a gift for someone who has a good sense of humor (we’re talking dad jokes here), this 11oz coffee mug will definitely raise a smile or two.


Hummingbird Feeder

Unlike most backyard birds that can be attracted using birdseed in a traditional feeder like the one shared earlier on, hummingbirds prefer to feed on nectar so they require a dedicated feeder like the one shown here. It’s easy to make homemade nectar using a simple recipe like this one here. It can then be poured into the jar of the feeder and hummingbirds can feed on it via the five feeding perches around the base.


Hummingbird Cushion Cover

Here’s another hummingbird gift idea, this time one for inside your recipient’s home. The 100% cotton cushion cover features an artistic design of a hummer hovering over a flower showing off its elegant patterns. This is just 1 of 7 different hummingbird designs you can choose from. Keep in mind that this gift is the cover only, you’ll also need to source an 18″x18″ cushion insert to complete the gift.


Swan Coaster Set

Perhaps the most elegant of birds is the swan. This set of coasters celebrates these graceful birds and makes the perfect gift for someone who loves swans. The wooden set includes four feather-shaped coasters and a swan-derful carved coaster holder shaped like a swan.


Bird Trivia Book

Do you ever wonder why woodpeckers don’t get concussions? This is just one of many questions that has gone through the mind of an avid birder. That’s why this 80-page bird trivia book makes such a great gift. It contains lots of funny, strange, and interesting facts about birds that will keep your recipient amused for many hours. If you’re going to give this as a gift, make sure you’re prepared to hear lots of bird-related facts because these need to be shared.


Dabbing Parrot T-Shirt

If your recipient loves to wear funny t-shirts, this dabbing parrot will be right up their street. The fun cartoon design sits on a background color of your choice, although we think this black background works best. The t-shirt can be ordered in several different fits that are great for both men and women.


Porch Swing Bird Feeder

We’ve included several bird feeders by this point, however, we could resist throwing in this fun porch swing-style bird feeder as our final gift idea for bird lovers. The feeder is made from Louisiana Cypress Wood and can easily be hung from any tree in the backyard with the included chains. Now your recipient can hang out on their porch swing and watch the birds as they gather on theirs.
