Contributor, backyard birding & seed care

I’m Maya Hollis, a backyard birder and hands-on writer focused on practical, evidence-driven tips for storing and using bird seed safely. I experiment with storage methods, sprouting tests, and pest-proofing tricks in my own yard, then translate what works into step-by-step guides and troubleshooting checklists. When I’m not testing a new airtight container, I’m refilling feeders and watching finches and sparrows with my two rescue cats nearby.
