It was published by BowTie Inc. History and profileWildBird was founded in 1987, as a monthly magazine and changed to every other month in 2000. BowTie Inc. published it from the Irvine, California, office. The Statement of Ownership in the January/February 2010 issue shows a paid circulation of more than 81,000 copies. WildBird’s slogan was “birding at its best,” and the articles talk about birding at home and away from home. Like one reader wrote,
The magazine usually had four feature articles in every issue, and it had three columnists and other regular writers. In some sections, readers could send photos that might be published, and they can enter contests like the photo contest and the Birder of the Year contest.[4] The photo contest gives away a Canon digital camera, and the Birder of the Year winner gets a Swarovski binocular and a birding trip.
