Wired updated its guide to the best gifts for bird lovers in May 2026, adding new picks and a fresh format that ranges from a game to a smart nest box, journal and jacket. [1]
The guide says the ideas are meant for bird watchers at all levels, with options that run from smart bird feeders to bird-watching jackets. [1]
Among the standouts, Wired singled out Birdfy's basic smart bird feeder model, which comes with a blue or yellow roof. [1]
Testing the smart feeders also taught the author a few bird facts, including that cowbirds lay eggs in other birds' nests and that corvids scatter-hoard nuts from feeders. [1]
The updated guide gives shoppers a fresh set of gift choices as bird-watching season continues, with the latest version already posted in May 2026. [1]
