What is a Bird-Friendly Community?

A Bird-Friendly Community promotes a healthy environment that supports birds, provides accessible opportunities for everyone to experience the wonder of birding, and unites our community through a shared appreciation for nature. We invite you to be part of Houston Audubon’s Bird-Friendly Community and commit to improving our lives and the lives of future Houstonians.

This important community resource is made possible with the support of The Meadows Foundation.

Join our community by creating a Bird-Friendly Yard. You can purchase real-deal native plants for your yard from the Houston Audubon Natives Nursery - now online! We carry a variety of native grasses, milkweed, flowers, shrubs and vines to help support birds and wildlife in your yard.
