Let The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible by Sally Roth be your guide to the foods and feeders, plants and projects that will guarantee you a yard that's absolutely brimming with birds! Review: For the full-time bird-feeder--or anyone else with lots of time on their hands - The author is a little fanatical in her pursuit of attracting birds to her yard. Maybe delete the "little." A fanatic, plain and simple. But she's an excellent writer and somehow draws me in to every single entry, whether "Juncos" or "Icicles;" "Gourds" or "Flowers for Birds." Not the kind of book you can sit down and read all at once, but great fun to have handy and peruse. I'm guessing, especially in an era when people turn instinctively to their computers, this is about as comprehensive a guide on the subject as anyone will ever again try to write. No reader in his or her right mind will go out and emulate Sally Roth on every point, but I have to say I'm inspired to try something new every time I dip in. Review: The section on feeding bird on a budgets caught my attention - Here's my experience so you can discover if you are on my level or SUPERIOR to me when it comes to knowledge about bird feeding. This year we put up a super duper, no attractions spared, bird feeding center. Did we ever get a show! We had finches, wrens, cardinals and all sorts of birds appear. We had thistle feeders and those for birds who preferred sunflower seeds. However, we also discovered that the birds inhaled food, simply seemed to suck it in like some industrial strength vacuum cleaner, small in size and...well, I wish I had a vacuum cleaner that quick and efficient! Another sign that nature trumps technology much of the time. But....we were going into hock trying to keep those birds fed. So I bought this book partly because of the section on how to keep them fed and still afford to retire someday. It was very helpful and now we're happy and the birds are happy. For those of you who feel just fine spending money on bird seed and not finding less costly methods of feeding the adorable little gluttons, you'll find a huge array of info in this one about how to choose feeders, which mixes work best and even how to deal with cicadas. You can get an idea of the book's topics by using the "Search Inside the Book" feature. Of course, some things can't be taught by a book, as I learned when a bird alit on my shoulder while filling a feeder, a small gift. But if you want info about how to attract birds, create the ideal feeders and find the mix seed mixes as well as projects you can make yourself, this IS the book to get. You can read more about it and other items on my profile page on desertcart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,027,130 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,644 in Bird Watching (Books) #1,977 in Organic & Sustainable Gardening & Horticulture #252,811 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 213 Reviews | ## Images ![The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible: The A-to-Z Guide To Feeders, Seed Mixes, Projects, And Treats (Rodale Organic Gardening Book) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Hg4RbhEAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the full-time bird-feeder--or anyone else with lots of time on their hands *by A***N on December 18, 2022* The author is a little fanatical in her pursuit of attracting birds to her yard.

Unfortunately, a lot of them are not worth much and a great many contain a large dose of pure silliness, misinformation, and harebrained altruism. That is the reason why "The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible" by Sally Roth is such a wonderful find. Roth's book is easily the most accurate, the most practical, the most useful, the most sensible, the most well-written and the most usable work on bird feeding out of scores that I have read over the passed half-century. Any birder at any level of interest will find this work interesting, entertaining, very useful and refreshingly down-to-Earth. I will, however, make two cautionary comments. First, Roth suggests seeking local information and answers from local chapters of the Audubon Society, the Sierra Club or The Nature Conservancy. My experience is that the accuracy and reliability of information from these three groups is highly variable. I have been very impressed with them in Michigan, favorably impressed with them in Arkansas, Kansas and south Texas, satisfied with them in Ohio and Pennsylvania and thoroughly disgusted with them in Florida. Just a "heads up". Secondly, as you read "The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible", you will be rapidly overwhelmed with the urge to run out to the local equipment stores and buy all manner of feeders, building materials, tools, feed & seed, and potted plants, shrubs and trees. This can present problems, especially for apartment dwellers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/114392408-the-backyard-bird-feeders-bible-the-a-to-z-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/114392408-the-backyard-bird-feeders-bible-the-a-to-z-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
