Join ABAS Board Director Brian Cunningham for an informative program about feeding the birds.

Anyone who has ever fed wild birds knows that it can bring joy to their lives. But, does bird feeding just benefit people? Do the birds become dependent on the food we provide? We’ll take a look at what we have learned from various scientific studies and citizen science data on why feeding wild birds makes a difference for the health and well-being of people and for our backyard feathered visitors.

Brian Cunningham has a love for the outdoors, nature, and birds. His greatest passion is helping others experience nature and opening their eyes to the wonder and beauty of birds. Brian has worked at Wild Birds Unlimited for 22 years and is their Product and Hobby Education Manager.

Brian has a BS in Forestry with an emphasis in Forest Recreation from Purdue University.
