Birds & Beans Coffee

One of the first coffee companies to take up the "Bird Friendly" certification was Birds & Beans Canada. Birds & Beans was then launched in the U.S. in 2008 to make it easy for coffee drinkers in the states to buy Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center "Bird Friendly" coffee. Every bean sold by Birds & Beans is certified by independent inspectors to meet the rigorous Smithsonian standards.

"Bird Friendly Coffee" simply means that migratory songbirds we know and love (especially our thrushes, orioles, tanagers and warblers) have a better chance to survive while on their wintering grounds in the tropics because their habitat is being preserved in partnership with local farmers and landowners.
