Chirp for Change

Chirp Nature Center is Big Bear's local birding authority. Guests can learn about the valley's native and migrating birds from season to season, join guided bird watching tours, and shop the best birding supplies.

Plastic Free Birding in Big Bear

Chirp sells a multitude of feeders, bird houses, and other birding supplies to encourage and support a healthy bird population in the valley. But it's important to note, not all birding supplies are equal.

While some plastic products are available for purchase, Chirp encourages customers to shy away from the polycarbonate options and opt for the glass, metal, and recycled plastic feeders and houses.

Glass and Metal goods last longer and weather the Big Bear seasons far better than the plastic products, meaning they need to be replaced less often. While the Recycled Plastic options are still plastic, they are manufactured to be much more durable than the thinner polycarbonate products.
