Happy Birdwatcher is a birdseed company that provides high-quality birdseeds for bird lovers. The idea is to attract birds to people’s backyards, allowing them to enjoy birdwatching while reducing anxiety and stress. The business was founded in 2021 by Susan Vandergriff.
Susan’s bond with birds began in 2019 when she noticed that most birdseeds sold in stores contained a lot of “filler” seeds that birds wouldn’t eat. To solve this, she started making her own birdseed mixes at home using high-quality ingredients. The birds loved her mixes, and more of them began visiting her backyard. This inspired her to turn her passion into a business.
Along with birdseed mixes, Happy Birdwatcher also sells bluebird feeders, seed storage pails, and birding journals on its website. The average cost of a seed mix is $52.
