Backyard Birds of Missouri Mug — Labeled Illustrations of Missouri Feeder Birds (11oz)

Missouri's state bird is the Eastern Bluebird — and unlike most state birds, this one actually turns up in your yard.

This mug carries hand-drawn illustrations of Missouri backyard regulars, each one labeled with the bird's name, so it works as a small field guide you hold every morning rather than a generic set of songbirds from somewhere else.

The Eastern Bluebird declined sharply across the Midwest last century and recovered largely because people put up nest boxes. Face a box at open lawn, away from the house, and offer mealworms — it will not come to seed.

Missouri sits on the seam where Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees meet, which is the single hardest identification in the American backyard. Where the two ranges overlap they hybridise, and honest birders in that band simply write down "chickadee".

The mug. 11 oz white ceramic · glossy finish · comfortable C-handle · dishwasher and microwave safe · lead- and BPA-free · printed to order in the USA, ships in 2–5 business days.
