A birding gift card for a book of their birds
A Birdfolio gift card lets a birder turn their own sightings into a personalized hardcover of every bird they've seen, each beside a classic painting. You don't need to know their list: they add it when they're ready, and we print their book then. Cards cost $79, $99 or $129, US shipping included, and are emailed to you right away.
- Emailed to you right away with a card to print and fold, or straight to them on the day you choose.
- Never expires. No fees.
- They add their sightings, see their whole book free and enter the code at checkout; any balance stays on the code.
- Right for a birthday, a retirement, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. The book comes later, when they make it.

Need a last-minute gift for a birder?
Give a Birdfolio gift card. We email it to you right after you pay, with a card to print at home, so you can give it the same day. Gift cards go on sale on November 15.
The printable gift card is one sheet of US Letter paper. Print it on one side and fold it twice into a small card, 4¼ by 5½ inches, with Northern Cardinals by John James Audubon on the front. Inside are the value, their code, three short steps and room to write who it's to and from. Tuck it into a greeting card, or email them the PDF.
Nothing has to be mailed, so it makes a good last-minute birding gift. Their book is printed and shipped later, when they make it.
What’s personalized in their book
When they use the card, their hardcover bird book is made from their own birding records, so no two are alike:
- Their own birds: every species on their life list, from their eBird or iNaturalist download or a list they type.
- When and where they first saw each one: the date and place of every first sighting, from their own records.
- A classic painting beside each species, by Fuertes, Audubon, Gould and others, or a credited photo. They can add their own photos too, free.
- Their milestones: their first bird, their 100th, 250th, 500th and beyond, each marked in the book.
- Their name on the cover, if they like, and a dedication of up to 60 words near the front.
- Chapters their way: by family (field-guide order), by date first seen or by country, as their list allows.
- A map of where they’ve birded: the states and countries on their list, by name only.
