Our Values

Adventure is a Mindset

Whether you’re exploring an exotic country, hiking a mountain trail, or relaxing in your backyard, every bird is a new quest.

Joy is Meant to Be Shared

We value kindness, curiosity, and connection. Birding is better with stories, friends, and a welcoming space to share them.

Bird Your Way

Whether you chase lifers, take pictures, or simply pause to listen. FeatherQuest is about finding your path and having fun along the way.

Noticing is the First Step

Curiosity sparks connection, connection builds care, and care inspires conservation.

How FeatherQuest Began

FeatherQuest began as a simple idea: turn everyday birding into something playful, meaningful, and shareable. What started as a personal project quickly grew into a community-backed adventure.

The first edition of FeatherQuest was launched through Kickstarter, funded by birders and explorers who believed in making nature more accessible, joyful, and fun for everyone.

What people are saying

The real magic came when we took small groups out into nature for first-hand experience. Mike was an enthusiastic and well-prepared host, and he helped everyone see and identify so many birds.
