I'm going to look for the bird label the next time I buy coffee to see if we've any here.

On the Smithsonian list I found a small roaster in Northern Virginia that I could visit on my regular travel route. Turns out she only has "Bird Friendly Coffee" 'sometimes', and had none when I was there. I can and will get "Rainforest Alliance" here locally from now on.

Hubby and I have been ordering Audubon "Rainforest Alliance" coffee online for a while now and love the flavor as well as the fact that it is shade grown and more bird friendly. As well as organic.

That's a good point Mrs. Scarecrowsdrm, Chances are plantation coffee like Maxwell House, Folgers, and 8 o'clock need spraying because their grown as a mono-crop.
The birds really do a good job on pest control. In fact there's a grub that's ruining coffee beans that the birds control and the plantations are helpless.
