Make Your Backyard Come Alive This Spring
Spring is one of the most exciting seasons for backyard birding. Hummingbirds are returning, orioles are arriving, goldfinches are brightening up, and nesting birds are busy raising their families.
Now is the perfect time to refresh your feeders, add fresh food, offer clean water, and create a backyard full of colour, song, and activity.

What’s Happening in Ottawa Backyards Right Now?
There is so much to watch for this time of year. A few simple additions can make your backyard even more welcoming for birds this spring.
Welcome Hummingbirds
Keep feeders clean, filled, and ready with fresh nectar, brushes, ant moats, and weather guards.
Support Nesting Birds
Nesting season is busy. High-quality foods, mealworms, suet, and fresh water can help support parent birds.
Add Fresh Water
Bird baths and moving water can attract birds that may not visit feeders, especially as the weather warms.
Refresh Your Feeders
Clean feeders, fresh seed, and the right setup can make all the difference during this active season.
Feeder Swap Success
Thanks to you, we’ve collected bins of donated feeders - many in great shape that we’ll clean and refresh for a second life in the community.
We’re now looking for schools, community groups, and local organizations ready to get started with birding.
