Bird-Friendly Communities

Bird City Minnesota

Healthy communities for birds and people

Transforming the places where people live and work into habitats where birds thrive. 

Bird City helps birds by:

  • Restoring, protecting and improving bird habitat
  • Reducing threats such as window collisions, toxins and harmful human activities, often due to a lack of understanding of birds’ needs
  • Engaging people in learning about, enjoying and helping birds thrive

Bird City Minnesota has joined forces with a whole network of other bird city / bird town / bird friendly programs throughout the Americas (US, Mexico, Central and South America) to become part of the Bird City Network (BCN). The BCN is led by the American Bird Conservancy and Environment for the Americas and will work to coordinate and empower previously independent state-centric programs as one collaborative network.
