OpenParlorWay is a small editorial site about backyard birdwatching in Canada. It gathers practical notes on feeders, common species, and quiet observation, written for people who want to recognize the birds already visiting their yards rather than to chase rarities.

The articles draw on widely published natural-history information and on publicly available references such as Birds Canada, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Birds, and Project FeederWatch. Where exact figures are uncertain, the text keeps to general description rather than inventing numbers.

Bird photographs on the site come from Wikimedia Commons under their respective free licenses. OpenParlorWay is independent and is not affiliated with the organizations it links to.
