Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding a meaningful and personal gift for your son who enjoys birdkeeping is a wonderful idea. Here are a few gift suggestions that would cater to his interests and show your thoughtfulness:

1. Bird Identification Field Guide: A comprehensive and easy-to-use guide featuring various species of birds can be an excellent gift for your son. This will allow him to further expand his knowledge and passion for birdkeeping while helping him identify different species he comes across.

2. Birdwatching Binoculars: A good pair of binoculars specifically designed for birdwatching would be a practical and thoughtful gift. These binoculars will enhance his birdwatching experience by allowing him to spot and observe birds up close, even from a distance.

3. Bird Feeder Kit: A bird feeder kit is a delightful gift that can bring new life and activity to his backyard. Encourage your son to set up the feeder in a visible spot where he can observe various bird species feeding. Consider including different types of bird food and a guide on attracting specific bird species.

4. Bird Photography Essentials: If your son has an interest in photography, consider gifting him a set of bird photography essentials. This can include a high-quality camera with a lens suitable for bird photography, a sturdy tripod, memory cards, and a photography book specifically focused on capturing birds in their natural habitat.

5. Bird Housing Accessories: If your son owns pet birds, gifting him accessories to enhance their living space would be a thoughtful gesture. You could consider items such as perches, toys, nest boxes, or bird baths. Ensure that the accessories are suitable for the specific species of bird he keeps.

6. Online Birdkeeping Courses: If your son is interested in expanding his knowledge on birdkeeping, consider enrolling him in an online course or workshop. This gift will allow him to learn from experts, develop new skills, and explore different aspects of bird care and behavior.

7. Birdwatching Trip: Surprise your son with a birdwatching trip or a visit to a local bird sanctuary. Spending quality time together and sharing his passion for birdkeeping will create lasting memories for both of you.

Remember to wrap your gift thoughtfully, and consider including a heartfelt note expressing your support and admiration for his hobby. Ultimately, the most meaningful and personal gift you can give is showing your genuine interest and encouragement in his passion for birdkeeping.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
