YWP Podcast - Season 4 Episode 2 - From suet to success, the Elaine’s Birding story
Season 4 Episode 2
From a single suet mix made in her kitchen to a business that reaches birders across South Africa, Elaine Reed’s journey is proof that passion can truly take flight. In this episode, Gabby sits down with the founder of Elaine’s Birding. a proudly South African brand known for its innovative feeders, nutritious bird foods, and heartfelt commitment to conservation.
Elaine shares how a simple encounter with a Crested Barbet sparked her lifelong love of birds, the creative spark behind her best-selling nectar feeders, and how her products are now endorsed by BirdLife South Africa. Together, they explore the joy of garden birding, the importance of responsible feeding, and how even small acts - like putting up a birdbath - can make a big difference for wildlife.
It’s a conversation about creativity, community, and conservation, reminding us that when we care for the birds around us, we help nurture the world we all share.
