The tiny Black-and-white Warbler can be found creeping up the trunks of trees and branches throughout Bird Friendly® coffee farms, eating insects found hiding in the bark. They are generally one of the earliest spring arrivals among Neotropical migrants. #FeatheredFactFriday

Do you know what neonicotinoids are? They are the continent’s most widely used insecticides and are lethal to birds. #LiveBirdFriendly by going pesticide free and consider purchasing organic produce to help #BringBirdsBack #Insecticides #Organic nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-bird…

The American Redstart is known for its agile insect hunting & striking plumage. These birds adapt to various habitats, including agroforestry systems, mangrove forests, and urban green spaces during migration or winter. However, they face threats like loss of habitat. #WMBD2025

En esta entrega de #LosÁrbolesSuperpoderosos traemos al Tocua, un imán para insectos y aves. La fauna busca tanto sus flores como sus frutos. Este arbolito genera un primer estrato en el sombrío que facilita el movimiento vertical de las aves por el cultivo. #DrinkBirdFriendly

Like finding a needle in a haystack: it’s not every day you see a bird wearing a tiny, radio transmitter backpack! In this video, the Smithsonian Bird Friendly Coffee team captured and tagged this wild male summer tanager at a coffee farm in Manizales, Colombia. #Tanager


A recent study led by a team affiliated with the Smithsonian Bird Friendly coffee program suggests the bacterial community surrounding coffee plants may have a pronounced effect on coffee flavor. dailycoffeenews.com/2025/08/20/stu…


Red here, green there, flavor in the making. Cherries ripen slowly when coffee is grown within living forest, sharing space with native trees where migratory birds and other wildlife find refuge. For 25 years the Bird Friendly certification has protected habitat like this.
