Bird feeding is the activity of feeding wild birds. The feeding of wild birds has been encouraged and celebrated in the United States for a long time with it being the United States' second most popular hobby.

There are many types of bird feeders that are suitable for year around feeding including tubes, platforms, hoppers, and suet cages. Feeders are often designed for offering specific types of foods or attracting different species of birds. A bird feeder brings feathered creatures to your yard for easy viewing, no binoculars required.

People who feed wild birds often attempt to attract birds to suburban and domestic locations. This requires setting up a feeding station and supplying bird food. The food might include seeds, peanuts, bought food mixes, fat, kitchen scraps and suet.
