Wild Bird Garden Spinners Make a Fun Gift

Yard and Garden Spinner Gifts for the Bird Lover

I've seen the cardinal spinner in our neighborhood and it looks very cheery!

These Wild Bird Garden Spinners add a touch of whimsy to your yard or garden, and they'll bring a smile to your face, and to passersby. They're made with fade-resistant SolarMax fabric and can withstand daily UV rays, rain and snow.

The spinners come with two heavy duty poles and a ground stake.

See the video below for a better look at these colorful yard spinners in action.

A Decorative Bird Mailbox Cover Makes a Fun Gift for Bird Lovers

Dress up your mailbox with one of these decorative bird mailbox covers. These Mailwraps are made of all-weather vinyl, and meet all U.S. Postal requirements.

No tools needed. These attach to standard metal mailboxes with magnetic strips. An adapter kit is available for plastic mailboxes (sold separately - see below).

The chickadee with blossoms is my favorite design for these mailbox covers.

How About a Bird Yard Flag as a Gift?

This colorful 12.5" x 18" Goldfinch Meadow Garden Flag is made of SolarSilk polyester fabric that's heavier and more durable than many similar garden flags, but it drapes very well.

From the Product Description:
[These garden flags] feature the work of popular artists including Susan Winget, Hautman Brothers, and many, many more. Heavyweight 600 denier polyester. More vivid colors, better luster. Superior fade and mildew resistant. Machine washable and iron safe.

The pole isn't included, but there are a couple garden flag stand suggestions below.

Buy from Amazon.com for $10.99

More House Flag Gift Ideas for the Wild Bird Lover

A variety of decorative house flags. Change them with the seasons! Note that there are a couple different sizes featured here -- a smaller 12" x 18", and the standard 28" x 40"

Poles sold separately.

Garden Flag Stands

The garden flags will need a pole or a stand to hang from. The size of the stand will depend on the size of the flag.

Chickadee and Cardinal Window Thermometer

This thermometer makes a unique gift.

I was given one of these bird window thermometers as a gift, and I love it. It brings a smile to my face when I'm reading the temperature on a cold winter day while our backyard cardinals and chickadees are flitting back and forth between our bird feeders.

Aspects 062 Cardinal Pair Window Thermometer

Amazon Price: $14.49 (as of 06/01/2012)

This Window Thermometer attaches to the outside of a window with suction cups. Window needs to be clean for the suction cups to work well.
Made of clear acrylic with hand silk screened designs. Background is frosted behind the thermometer for easier reading under all lighting conditions.

A Useful Gift For People Who Like Birds

Plush Audubon Bird Toys -- With Authentic Bird Songs

Fun Gifts for Kids and Adults Who Enjoy Birds

These plush bird toys are fun for kids, and for adults who like a little whimsy in their lives. The birds are 5", and they "sing" their own bird song when you squeeze them. The authentic bird songs are from the world famous Cornell Lab or Ornithology.

There are over 50 different birds that are available. You can get a great discount for ordering 12 or 24 at a time (suggested as a "gift from grandma"!).

Click on the row of birds below for more information.

Great Gift for Bird and Coffee Lovers

Coffee for Bird Lovers from Online Nature Mall

If you're looking for gifts for both bird lovers and coffee lovers, take a look at the different coffees from Online Nature Mall. You can get bean or ground coffee, caffeinated or decaf.

Purchasing Song Bird Shade Grown Coffee helps fund American Birding Association programs, including Partners In Flight, an outstanding neotropical bird conservation project.

By the way, there's no need to sacrifice your pleasure to help the planet. Coffee grown in its natural environment in nutrient-rich soil has time to develop all its sugars as it matures fully. This natural process translates to the best taste for you.

Pretty Bird Design Mugs Always Make a Nice Gift

Mugs with beautiful bird designs are always a welcome gift. These mugs are just a few of the many designs available from Zazzle.com. Prices are a little higher than what you might find at Target or Walmart, but they're unique designs by talented artists that you won't find in your local stores.

Chickadee Lap Tray

A Thoughtful Gift

Doesn't this look like a cheerful tray for serving breakfast in bed, or for just sitting in a comfortable chair with a book and a cup of tea or coffee, looking out at your birdfeeders? It's also good for casual dining arrangements.

The Jason Garden Birds Lap Tray ($36.90 from Amazon.com) is 17.5" x 13" with a cushioned bottom and dark wood border. The cushioned bottom is heat resistant, and molds to the shape of your knees. Easy to clean surface.

Unique Wild Bird Design Placemats and Coasters

I love the color and design of these decorative bird placemats and coasters by the Jason company. The placemats are perfect for a luncheon or afternoon tea, or a casual supper.

These Jason wild bird design placemats and coasters are durable and easy to clean, with a cork backing.

At the time of putting together this bird-lovers gift ideas (November 2010), there are only a small number of these Jason bird design placements in stock. Check for availability and order soon if you want them.

Decorative Bird Dish Towels

Brighten up a kitchen with these decorative bird dish towels. Different fabrics, different textures, different bird designs. I think they make great "stocking stuffers".

Two towels in a set, made of flour sack clothes. Set comes with matching ribbon and tag, making it perfect for gift giving.

Sibley Bird Calendars

Bird calendars make great gifts for anyone who enjoys birds.

David Allen Sibley is one of today's leading illustrators of birds, and is the author of the comprehensive The Sibley Guide to Birds.

Now you can buy calendars and posters that feature Sibley's beautiful bird illustrations.
