This is the best magazine for bird and flower lovers.The photos are of such quality you 'd thinks they could sing or smell like the real thing.The bird house plans are easy to follow and so much nicer than the average bird feeder designs. The recipes for making your own suet cakes and bird seed cakes are really useful and help me save money.

I found Birds and Blooms many years ago through a free trial magazine. I have never missed an issue since! Curl up wiith Birds and Blooms and you will feel like you are right there in the middle of nature. My 6 year old granddaughter became an avid Birds and Blooms fan before she could even read and now has a love for birding and gardening. For a big city kid, that is saying something really good! Buy Birds and Blooms for yourself or for someone you love today!

My mom ordered this for me as a birthday gift because she knows I love birds and flowers.  I find the articles so interesting and informative and the pictures are just gorgeous.  The advice included is invaluable and the interviews are well written.  I will definitely be renewing after my subscription runs out.  One negative is all the ad pages and inserts(too many).

I look forward to every Birds & Blooms magazine.  The articles are interesting and the pictures are beautiful. There are great tips on gardening and bird watching. This month October/November 2009 the article on Bed & Breakfasts and Inns that cater to bird watchers caught my attention.  My favorite part of this magazine is the reader's contributions.  This unique magazine is easy to read and you don't have to be a bird watcher to enjoy Birds & Blooms.

Featuring the two things I love most - after my husband and children - **Birds and Blooms** is for folks like me -- I love to look at the pictures. No matter how often I have looked at them, I enjoy them even more with each additional viewing.The short articles are nice too. There are tips, hints and "help me!" sections, but basically I love looking at the purty pictures - page after page after page.For a person who loves words, I am having a problem describing this every-other-month collection of color. I guess the best way is to tell you that I give 4 gift subscriptions to older relatives who are unable to get up-and-out as easily as they used to, so I make sure they still get some of the beauty of the outdoors at their fingertips. This is not to say that the issues can't be enjoyed by the younger set, but I think the older you get the more you appreciate and value the beauty of nature.

This magazine has inspired and wowed me into creating a much more fun and interesting backyard.   I now have more blooming plants to attract butterfiles.  A giant bird feeder that is very popular with wildlife - including the family of racoons.  I have shared morning glory seeds with those in other states.  Thanks for all the great tips
