Maya Henderson

Contributor, Backyard Wildlife & Pet Safety

I’m Maya, a backyard naturalist and writer who cares about safe coexistence between bird seed, birds, pets, and neighborhood wildlife. I run feeders, test storage and cleaning routines, and write practical guides that help pet owners and feeders avoid common hazards like spoiled seed, mold, and unintended predators. At home I keep native plant beds, log backyard bird sightings for citizen science, and unwind with a cup of tea and a watchful cat on the porch.
