Providing birds with free, windowless housing is the best way to apologize for centuries of creepily watching them with binoculars. Make up for the public birdbath with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of garden supplies and bird-watching gear at Featherfields The Bird and Garden Store in Hyde Park or on Stanley Street.

Marrying two pastimes that often meander hand-in-hand, Featherfields offers bird lovers and gardeners a veritable playground full of high-end gear that caters to each hobby. The friendly staffers help navigate the extensive selection of garden supplies, which includes decorative items, planting pots and containers, and tools such as the worm-deflecting Mud Gloves gardening gloves ($10.99). Bribe feathered friends for flying advice with a squirrel-proof bird feeder ($26.99) or hummingbird feeder ($23.99). Customers can also direct the pampering instinct inwards with Naked Bee personal-care products, (starting at $3.99), as well as cockle-warming organic teas ($7.99–$13.99) and Nude Bee honey ($8.99–$11.99).

• Best gift selection! Best staff! Best birdseed and accessories! Beautiful displays! They really know how to choose unique and interesting merchandise. I also appreciate that they carry some eco-friendly options. – Kathryn, Hyde Park Road location, Goldbook
• We used to get so much waste and attract only sparrows. Now, with Featherfields' exclusive seed, we have a huge variety of backyard birds and no wasted seed. – Richard, Hyde Park Road location, Goldbook
