Retail Manager Mechio Hardeman recommends the pigeon stress ball<\/a> by Borb: <\/span>\u201cThis adorable plush toy is the perfect desk companion and his round, weighed base makes him perfect for tossing around and squeezing.\u201d It\u2019s a fun, comforting gift for anyone who could use a little bird-inspired cheer at their workspace. Also perfect for all the pigeon lovers out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the perfect pigeon-themed gift<\/a>, pair this super cute (and satisfying to squish) pigeon stress ball<\/a> with other popular items <\/a>like the pigeon earings<\/a> or pigeon hair clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/birdsconnectsea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dave-hat-and-collision-2.jpg&#8221<\/a>; alt=”Photo features a man wearing a pale orange shirt, grey hat, holding a small box while standing in front of a plant and large window.” title_text=”Dave with Bird is a Verb Hat and Collision Deterrents.” url=”https:\/\/birdsconnectsea.myshopify.com\/products\/bird-is-a-verb-hat-gray&#8221<\/a>; align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Volunteer Dave loves our Bird is a Verb hat<\/a>, sharing: <\/span>\u201cThe slogan on this hat<\/a> is one-of-a-kind and perfect for a day out birding. Also, I recommend everyone install collision deterrents<\/a> on their windows to help protect birds this holiday season, and all year long.\u201d It\u2019s a thoughtful gift that pairs style with a reminder to keep birds safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/birdsconnectsea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/shared-image-4.jpg&#8221<\/a>; alt=”Photo features a woman in a grey sweater holding a pair of small binoculars and smiling.” title_text=”Claire, Binoculars” url=”https:\/\/birdsconnectsea.myshopify.com\/products\/prostaff-p7-8×25&#8243<\/a>; align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Executive Director Claire Catania thinks there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing a cool bird and not having binoculars<\/a> on you!\u00a0Treat yourself (or a\u00a0loved one) to a pocket-sized binocular and you’ll never have to worry about missing out on a rarity that whizzes by unexpectedly. After all, as Claire says, “I’m never NOT birding.” Claire recommends the Nikon Prostaff 8X25 binoculars<\/a> as her own “purse pair” that also serves double-duty in her kiddos’ small hands when they’re out birding together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retail Associate Charlie Yanny says, “If you’re looking for a fun bird themed gift for the holidays you definitely won’t wanna pass up the Jabebo Studio earrings<\/a>. I love how each pair of asymmetrical highlights a different aspect of one of our local birds. Along with each pair is made of recycled cereal box paperboard helping to reduce waste. They’re a steal at only 14.95$!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Retail Assoicate Kelly Metcalfe’s pick will help make your home birdy and festive this season. “We have the cutest selection of bird ornaments<\/a> in the shop right now! The wooden ones are made by local artist Laurel Mundy and they’re a great way to bring a little PNW beauty to your holiday set up.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For an extra amount of fun and whimsy, try Program Associate Sarah Hankins’ recommendation of our rubber chicken hair claw clip<\/a>. Sarah says, “I love the rubber chicken claw clip<\/a>, it is silly and whimsical and also very effective!”<\/span><\/p>\n
