Today
,
according
to the US
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service
,
more
than
fifty
million
Americans
feed
birds
around
their
homes
, and
over
the
last
sixty
years
,
billions
of
pounds
of
birdseed
have
filled
millions
of
feeders
in
backyards
everywhere.
Feeding
Wild
Birds
in
America
tells
why
and how a
modest
act
of
provision
has
become
such
a
pervasive
,
popular
, and
often
passionate
aspect
of
people’s
lives.
The
book
provides
details
on
one
or
more
bird-feeding
development
or
trend
including
the
“discovery”
of
seeds
, the
invention
of
different
kinds
of
feeders
, and the
creation
of
new
companies.
Also
woven
are the
worlds
of
education
,
publishing
,
commerce
,
professional
ornithology
, and
citizen
science
,
all
of
which
have
embraced
bird
feeding
at
different
times
and from
different
perspectives.
The
authors
take
a
decade-by-decade
approach
starting
in the
late
nineteenth
century
,
providing
a
historical
overview
in
each
chapter
before
covering
topical
developments
(such
as
hummingbird
feeding
and
birdbaths).
On the
one
hand
, they
show
that the
story
of
bird
feeding
is
one
of
entrepreneurial
invention
; on the
other
hand
, they
reveal
how
Americans
,
through
a
seemingly
simple
practice
, have
come
to
value
the
natural
world.
