Oh, Howdy!
I’m Jaymi — full-time bird nerd, part-time pixel wrangler.
Better With Birds began as a way to merge what I love most — art, advocacy, and avian obsession — into something that sparks joy, supports conservation, and adds to the already fantastic birding community.
After nearly 20 years as a wildlife conservation writer and photographer, digging into the how-tos, the why-is-thats, and the what-ifs of nature is just how I'm wired. I’m here to serve it all up in a way that’s fun to read and easy to absorb.
Here, you’ll find two things:
🛒 A shop full of bird-inspired gear, designed to delight your inner naturalist (and support conservation!)
📚 A library of genuinely fun, deeply useful resources, made to make birding feel more approachable and easy to learn.
Better With Birds is your source for artistic appreciation and read-worthy exploration — for migration season, conservation, and all the ways birds show up in our lives.
Thanks for being here.

from 16 reviewsTshirt fits great and looks good!
My friend was absolutely delighted with her Cheeseburger bird mug! It was delivered quickly…which is great since I can’t keep a secret.
Beautiful mug and vibrant colors. It’s my new favorite!
I’m so happy with this mug! The size is absolutely perfect! The original design is beautiful and really stands out. I’ll definitely be ordering more as gifts in the future. Highly recommend!
I love this mug and sent it as a gift to a dear friend - she loves it
Ordered two of the shirts for my son for Christmas. They arrived in a timely manner and look great. I think he will love them!
This sweatshirt is soft and versatile. The garment is really high quality and the artwork is so unique. So happy I made this purchase!
One shirt arrived with a seam problem and the sweet and energetic people at “Better With Birds” worked tirelessly to get a replacement shirt! Thank you!!
This company has a great assortment of items, and they use some of their profits to help bird conservation efforts. The "Dark skies saves lives" shirt is a cool design with an important message; many birds migrate at night and get confused by all the lights from urban areas, so we need to reduce that excess lighting. I will be buying from them again!
Well, the leggings I received are so comfortable that I ordered another pair. This time with pocket. That should be all you need to know on a review. When you just want more, that’s the best kind of customer satisfaction, right?
This journal is exactly what I was looking for. It's the perfect size for throwing into a backpack or purse and the hard cover keep the pages protected. I like that the envelope in the back is there for handy storage of souvenirs when I use it as a travel journal. I also bought the Golden Crowned Kinglet journal for my daily diary notes. I'll definitely be back to this shop.
This journal is exactly as described. I love the size as it fits easily into my small backpack or on my bookshelf. The color is vibrant, making it easy to find no matter where I've set it down (yeah, I need that). I will definitely be buying more.
I was so excited to get my new California Quail Mug from betterwithbirds.com! I love the amazing artwork available in the shop, and this comic book themed cup really make me smile. Thank you for starting this great website for all us bird nerds.
I purchased the Better With Birds Bearded Vulture T-shirt in black for my bearded husband. He's very happy with it. He loves the design, and commented right away that the weight and texture is just how he likes his tees.
I noticed it was also a good length. Some tees can be too short for him. The order was filled quickly. We'll definitely be ordering from this shop again.
It was hard to choose which funny mug I wanted but when I did, it arrive quickly. WOW, impressed at the quality product and now I want all the birds/colors for a set. A smile hits my face looking at my cheery morning coffee or tea. Thanks
