Rediscover Backyard Joy——with Marvelous visitors 

What does real American happiness look like? 

According to recent surveys by Gallup and Pew Research Center, one of the most cherished private spaces for Americans isn't a luxury getaway or a high-tech living room — it's the backyard. 

This summer, as we retreat from crowded destinations and rediscover the comfort of our homes, more families across the U.S. are turning their own backyards into peaceful sanctuaries full of life. Far beyond just a place for summer barbecues or mowing the lawn, the backyard is being reimagined as a miniature ecological theater — a quiet, living stage where nature unfolds, slowly and beautifully. 

And the quiet stars of these spaces? Birds. 

Why Birds Love Your Backyard More Than You Think 

Many people assume that only big yards with elaborate gardens can bring in birds — but that’s a myth. Many American backyards are already home to finches, robins, chickadees, hummingbirds, and cardinals — you just might not have noticed. 

Birds are drawn to spaces that offer food, water, shelter, and safety. In summer, when natural resources become scarce (especially in our warming climate), your yard can become a five-star bird resort. 

 The best part? You don’t need to hike into the woods to enjoy birdwatching. With a smart bird feeder and a bit of patience, Even a modest suburban yard can be a magnet for some of North America's most beloved species. 

How to Make Your Backyard a Bird Magnet 

3 steps to bring birds into your life:

• Offer Food & Fresh Water 

Install a smart bird feeder that automatically dispenses seed and records footage of each visitor. Pair it with a shallow water bowl or mini fountain. Birds love hydration in summer! 

• Create Natural Layers 

Plant shrubs, potted herbs, or sunflowers to provide shade and texture. Birds like multi-level environments that offer shelter and nesting options.

• Add Tech With a Purpose 

Let the AI do the birdwatching for you ! Use the AI-powered camera identifies species, sends real-time notifications to your phone, and lets the whole family enjoy "who visited today."

This Summer, Don’t Just Watch TV — Watch Nature 

Your backyard isn’t just a patch of grass — it’s a living, breathing part of the natural world, waiting to be noticed.
