My mom is an avid bird lover and definitely a backyard bird watcher. I probably need both hands, and maybe my feet, to count the number of chickadee and cardinal sweaters she’s worn over the years (gifts for birders come fast and furious in this household). But nature has always been a big part of my upbringing.
When I wasn’t fishing with dad, we were usually out in the woods taking a hike or driving the back-roads seeing how many different animals we could find. Now that I’m out of the house and all grown up (at least that’s what I tell myself…my wife begs to differ), I hope to pass that same love of birds and nature onto my daughter.
Just last summer, we enjoyed a group of 4 snipes that stayed in the backyard for a couple days. They weren’t the giant, multi-colored snipes from the movie “UP” which greatly disappointed my daughter, but it was a fantastic experience nonetheless.
Over the years, I’ve purchased lots of bird gifts for mom. There are so many fun and unique gifts for bird lovers that the problem isn’t finding one. Instead, it’s the task of picking just one (or a few) to really make mom’s day on Mother’s Day.
Here are some of the top Mother’s Day gifts for bird lovers and backyard bird watchers I’ve discovered during this year’s search. Let me know which one is your favorite!

Birds And Flowers Keepsake Gift Jar Of Messages For Mom Found Here – I’m seriously considering getting this birds and flowers keepsake jar for mom on Mother’s Day this year, because I know just how much it would mean to her. It comes with pre-written messages, but what will really make it a one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day gift is if I replace the pre-written messages with messages of my own. Perhaps advice mom has taught me over the years, my favorite memories, things I love about mom, facts about birds – there are so many ways to turn this into an AMAZING bird themed gift for Mother’s Day.
LEGO Ideas Birds Model Kit Found Here – This could make a really cute gift for birders on Mother’s Day. Here’s one idea: have the kids or grandkids assemble the Lego birds, attach a heart-felt handwritten message, and then surprise mom or grandma with them on her special day!
