Bird-watching might just be America's new favorite pastime. Flocks of new folks have picked up the hobby, which isn't really much surprise when you consider just how interesting the feathered friends in our very own backyards can be. We could spend hours perched on our decks watching the hummingbirds gather at the feeder or even virtually checking into our smart bird feeders to see what winged beauties might be visiting while we're away.
Whether your favorite birder is new to the game or has been watching for decades, odds are they'll love a bird-themed gift for any upcoming celebrations. From Mother's Day and Father's Day to birthdays and every holiday in between, these gifts will encourage birders to get out and appreciate all the beauty nature has to offer.
Crafted the same way for over 70 years, the Audubon Bird Call can make a variety of different bird sounds just by rotating the cylinder against the plug with different amounts of pressure and lengths. Be sure they're familiar with common bird songs so they know how to attract their favorite feathered friends.
Unfortunately your favorite birder can't be out watching 24/7, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end. The Bird Bingo game brings in species from around the world, including a few they've likely never heard of before.
A smart bird feeder will truly revolutionize their bird-watching game, because our feathered friends continue stopping by even when we aren't watching. They can check in on their feeder and get live notifications any time a bird visits. If you've got a serious birder on your hands, then opt for this version that includes an AI identification feature that lets users know exactly what species of bird they're seeing. We ranked it as the top bird feeder camera in recent testing.
If they're still using that old bird feeder they've had for years (or even decades), then it's time for an upgrade that's almost as pretty as the hummingbirds that visit it. This blown glass hummingbird feeder is easily one of the best we've ever seen.
Any serious birder needs a serious pair of binoculars to accompany them on their adventures. This Nikon pair is a great set for new bird-watchers thanks to its low price point and high quality. In fact, these binoculars were recommended by a career bird-watcher as some of the best on the market.
This might be called a butterfly bush, but hummingbirds are big fans too. "I have noticed at my property, the butterfly bushes get the most hummingbird visitors of all of my plants and they bloom until first frost," says Melissa Lallo Johnson, a Midwest-based master gardener who shares her expansive garden on Instagram at @fancyflowerfarmer. This Butterfly Bush is best suited for Zones 5-9, so if your birder is in a different plant hardiness zone, grab another plant hummingbirds will love, instead.

a new bird bath
Kelly Clarkson Home Albermarle Cast Iron Pedestal Birdbath
This vintage-inspired bird bath will give their feathered friends a spot to cool down and relax in the summer months, and it'll look as if it was meant to always belong in their garden.
This clear bird feeder attaches directly to a window with suction cups and includes a divided tray feeder, so she won't be limited to attracting just a few species of birds.
Plain ole seed just won't cut it for some birds. Cardinals, robins, and orioles actually prefer fresh fruit over bird seed, so a feeder like this will be sure to attract tons to any yard.
Encourage feathered friends to take up residence in their yard with this wool nest starter. Fill it with anything from wool to old cotton or even fur and watch birds flock to it to find materials to build their homes. If your birder loves hummingbirds, then opt for this pre-built shelter instead.
Double the power of this hanging planter by filling it with a flower that'll attract hummingbirds. The winged creatures won't be able to resist the combination of the three glass carafe feeders and a favorite flower.

Not only is coloring a relaxing pastime, but it can also help birders brush up on their illustration skills if drawing the birds they see is something they're interested in.
Bird names can be a bit scandalous if taken out of context. For the birder with a sense of humor, get them this mug that celebrates some of the weirder (and fowler) named species.
Does he or she enjoy a nice cuppa before going out for a morning of bird-watching? Then this beautifully handcrafted strainer will add a bit of flair to their morning routine.
