Skip the headlines. Check the feeder.

This bird coffee mug is for the morning reader who now starts with the yard: who is back, who is new, who is loudest. The paper can wait.

The design: Backyard News

A songbird drawn in dark ink lines sings with its beak open, perched on a folded cream newspaper. Behind it, a soft blue-gray arch frames the scene like a window.

Beside it, BACKYARD NEWS is set in big black serif capitals, with NEWS the larger of the two lines.

The newspaper is blank and folded away; the only story worth reading is the bird. Black, cream and blue-gray on glossy white.

Your morning paper, updated

Who it's for

Morning readers, retired news junkies, feeder fillers and anyone whose first question of the day is who showed up outside. It suits a breakfast table, a reading chair or the desk by the window. A clever pick among gifts for bird lovers: Father's Day, a retirement, birthdays, Mother's Day or the holidays.

Quick answers

Is this a good gift for a bird watcher?

It is made for one: give it to the news reader who now checks the feeder first. Father's Day, retirement, birthday, Mother's Day or the holidays.

Which size should I choose?

It comes in one size: a 12 oz latte mug, 4″ tall with a wide, cone-shaped rim.

Where on the mug is the print?

On both sides of the handle, so the scene faces out whether you drink right- or left-handed.

Is there real news on the paper?

No. The newspaper is blank and folded. The only news is the bird.

What kind of bird is it?

A songbird drawn in a classic ink style rather than a labeled species, so it can stand in for whichever bird starts your morning.
