Together, we create a welcoming and inclusive birdwatching space for all.
Join us as we get outside in nature in the Boston area!

Who we are:
Feminist Bird Club (FBC) Boston is an inclusive bird-watching club dedicated to getting outside in and around the Boston area. Our work centers the experiences of, and fights for the rights of, people who identify as Indigenous, trans, non-binary, queer, women, disabled, Black, brown, neurodiverse, or any combination thereof, and for the equity of people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, women, non-binary folks, and members of the LGBTQ community.
We are a chapter of the Feminist Bird Club, which was founded in 2016 in NYC by Molly Adams.
Feminist Bird Club Boston hosts events across eastern Massachusetts, including the homeland of the Pawtucket, Massachusett, Naumkeag, and Wabanaki peoples. It’s our intention to offer land acknowledgement as an expression of solidarity and an opportunity for people to learn more. Learn more about the people on whose land you live via Native-Land. Learn more about land reparations to Indigenous people here. Learn more about the Native Land Conservancy, an indigenous-led land conservation project based in Mashpee (south of Boston).
Signing up for Events with FBC Boston
Please help us keep our events free and inclusive!
Free Eventbrite Sign-ups:
We limit spots for events to keep the group manageable and bird-friendly but big enough to be inclusive. Sign-ups tell us organizers how many people are coming, prevent a crowd, and allow us to have folks sign liability forms. Please only join us if you have a ticket through Eventbrite.
Waitlist:
There is also a waitlist with spots we release manually when cancellations occur. Please use the waitlist instead of messaging us if you’re trying to attend. If the event is sold out with no waitlist option, the waitlist is full.
Cancellation Etiquette:
Our events are popular and spots are limited, so please only register if you are confident you can attend. Please try to give 48 hours cancellation if possible. We understand last-minute things come up, but with more notice, we can open up these additional spots to others.
Lil’ Team:
We are a small team of volunteers (1 brave soul who handles Eventbrite!) so we are unable to respond quickly nor monitor communication channels close to event times. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. We’ll see you out on the trail!
