Bird Feeder Camera Guide

Free bird feeder calculators

Every calculator below is free, runs in your browser, and needs no signup. One of them — the Which Birds Will I Attract? — can also be embedded on your own site, and this page explains exactly how.

Embed the Which Birds Will I Attract?

This is the calculator we get asked for most by people who publish about backyard birding:backyard-birding blogs, garden clubs and local Audubon chapter pages who want to answer a recurring question without sending readers somewhere else. It is useful when a reader wants to know which species a feeder setup will bring to their yard. Readers enter region, season and feeder type and get an instant result.

Paste this snippet into any page. It loads a lightweight, ad-free version of the tool, with no header or footer clutter — just the calculator and a credit line.

What the embed includes

  • The full calculator in a minimal frame — no header, footer, promo bar or site navigation.
  • A visible credit line linking to the tool page and to Bird Feeder Camera Guide.
  • No affiliate links, no ads, no pop-ups and no email capture.
  • Anonymous pageview analytics only — no session recording, and Do Not Track is respected.

The iframe is responsive: leave width="100%" and raise the height if your column is narrow. Nothing else needs configuring, and there is no script to keep updated — we ship fixes on our side.

Attribution and terms

The calculators are free for commercial and non-commercial use. The one condition is the credit link: keep it visible, keep it followed, and do not imply that the tool is your own. You may not resell the embed, put it behind a paywall, or strip the analytics. Everything else — placement, surrounding copy, styling of the page around it — is up to you.

Prefer to link rather than embed? That is fine too. A plain link to the tool page is always welcome, and it is the better choice if your page already loads a lot of third-party embeds.

Frequently asked questions

Are the backyard birding calculators free to use?
Yes. Every calculator on Bird Feeder Camera Guide runs entirely in the browser, needs no account or email, and shows the full result without a paywall. Nothing you type is sent to us — the math happens on your device.
Can I embed the Which Birds Will I Attract? on my own website?
Yes, at no cost. Copy the snippet above and paste it into any HTML page, CMS block or documentation page. It loads the tool in an iframe with a visible credit link back to Bird Feeder Camera Guide. You can change the width and the height attribute; keep the iframe responsive with width="100%".
Do I have to keep the credit link?
Yes. The credit link is the only condition of the free embed — please keep it visible and unchanged. Removing it, hiding it behind a click, or wrapping the embed in your own branding is not permitted. If you need a version without attribution, get in touch and we will decline politely.
Does the embedded calculator track my visitors?
The embed loads the same privacy-friendly analytics as the rest of the site: pageviews with no session recording, no cross-site profiles, and Do Not Track respected. It does not set affiliate cookies and contains no affiliate links.
How accurate are the backyard birding calculators?
They use the published specifications and price ranges from our comparison data, with the same assumptions stated on each tool page. Results are estimates for planning, not a substitute for a site survey, a licensed installer or the manufacturer's own sizing table. Check the current spec sheet before you buy.
Can I link to a specific calculator instead of embedding it?
Yes — linking is always welcome and needs no permission. Each tool has a permanent page under /tools/ with the method and assumptions written out, so a link stays useful even if our embed programme changes.
