Did you know that you can help birds by drinking coffee? The recent announcements of the loss of 3 billion birds in North America highlight seven things you can do to help save birds, and one of them is drinking shade-grown coffee. But not all shade-grown coffee is equally beneficial to birds. Bird-friendly shade, which includes trees up to 110 feet tall, will provide good habitat for 243 bird species, many of which migrate to North America each spring. The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center certifies coffees from plantations that grow organic coffee and provide the best habitat for birds. Look for this Bird Friendly seal when you make your next purchase of coffee and help save our birds!
If you can’t find Bird Friendly coffee in your local store, you can buy it direct from the National Audubon Society at Bird Friendly Coffee.
