Hi all,

I did some research on this two years ago.  At that time, I understood that
the designation "bird-friendly" involved another level of certification
beyond "organic" and "shade-grown", as is explained on the Smithsonian
website:

https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/bird-friendly-coffee

*Just Us* was looking into adding some "bird-friendly" certified coffees to
their inventory at the time I was doing my research, but I have not seen
any on the shelves.

<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Hi All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Through emails forwarded by Jim Wolford to this list=
 a year or more ago from Just Us coffee, a commitment was made by that grou=
p to investigate having at least one blend of Just Us coffee to be bird fri=
endly certified. I have checked and
 asked regularly at their store in Grand Pre whenever I=E2=80=99m passing t=
hrough the area about if and when they expect to have a Smithsonian Bird Fr=
iendly certified blend. I never received any response that indicated that t=
hey are moving forward on this initiative.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">I would prefer to buy from local businesses. I do re=
member, however, an incident a number of years ago when Tim Horton=E2=80=99=
s and other brands said their coffees were grown by small farmers under fai=
r trade conditions but not certified as such.
 The response of certified fair trade coffee brewers was that if it=E2=80=
=99s not certified then it is not fair trade. I would say the same today, i=
f it=E2=80=99s not certified, then it is not bird friendly.<u></u><u></u></=
p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Perhaps a small group of people from the Bird Societ=
y could formally meet with Just Us and ask why they have not developed a ce=
rtified bird friendly blend and if there is anything we could do to help th=
em. I would volunteer to be one such
 person if asked.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=3D"MsoNormal">There are also a few new coffee brewers becoming est=
ablished in Nova Scotia. For example, one in southwestern Nova Scotia is Si=
ssiboo Coffee Roaster which has certified fair trade and organic blends. Pe=
rhaps this Bird Society working group
 could present the benefits of bird friendly certified coffee to these new =
businesses.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Buying it locally would be ideal, but it is not yet =
sold in the Annapolis Valley, so I&#39;ve been having it shipped directly f=
rom Birds and Beans. It usually arrives in 2-4 days. I costed it out and or=
dering 5 lb bags makes the total cost
 (coffee + tax + shipping) about the same as ordering fair trade/organic lo=
cally. With a second person adding to the order, (so splitting the shipping=
), it works out to be cheaper.<u></u><u></u></p>
