13. BIRD FEEDERS…

Bird feeding isn't just a winter activity; it might surprise you to learn that even in spring, food is still scarce for our feathered friends. Linux 64 bit operating system download. The temperatures are usually cool enough that many insect populations haven't emerged, and that's sad news for those birds that eat insects. Also, the fruit-eating birds won't see their favorite foods naturally appearing until harvest! You don't need to buy fancy bird feeders to feed your backyard friends.

14. BIRD FEEDERS #1

Materials:

• 2 cups shortening
• 2 cups peanut butter
• 5 cups birdseed

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Shape into balls.
3. Wrap each ball in netting from onion bags, and secure with a plastic twist.
4. This recipe makes about 12 feeders.

14. BIRD FEEDERS #2

Instructions

1. Punch holes on either side of a plastic pop bottle.
2. Stick a twig all the way through with its ends sticking out for perches; poke more holes nearby for the birds to pull the seeds out.
3. Hang the bottle by tying a string around its neck.
   (Finches really like these.)

15. PINE CONE BIRD FEEDER #3

Materials:

• Lard or peanut butter
• String
• Pinecone
• Birdseed

Instructions

1. Tie a piece of string around the widest part of the cone.
2. Mix the lard and seed together.
3. Press the mixture into the branches of the cone.
4. Use the string to tie the cone up in a tree pr bush for the birds to enjoy.

16. BIRD FEEDER #4

Instructions

1. Tie a string around the neck of a baby food jar and fill with orange juice.
2. Hang it from a tree. (It will hang tilted, but Orioles will perch on the rim and take dainty sips). They also love oranges!

17. MILK CARTON BIRDFEEDER #5

This bird feeder won't last long, but it is so easy to make, you can always have another one made all ready to replace it when it wears out!

Materials:

• Small milk carton (the kind at school)
• non-toxic poster paints
• stapler and staples
• hole punch
• yarn or string

Instructions

1. Wash and thoroughly dry the milk carton.
2. Cut a small section from the carton and then staple the top opening closed.
3. Paint the container, if desired. Let it dry. (Note: If you paint the feeders in streaks of tan, gray and brown they will resemble tree bark. Then, on the bottom, paint on dark and light green leaves. When you stand underneath the hanging bird feeder, it really blends in with the canopy of leaves above it!)
4. Poke a hole in the middle of the top of the carton, and thread a piece of yarn or string through it to use as a hanger. (The string should be long enough for the feeder to hang where the branches don't rub against, but not so long that the feeder hangs too far away from the tree's leaf cover. Birds like to feel they have a hiding place to fly into quickly!)
5. Add birdseed and hang the feeder. (Since the small milk carton feeders are just the right size for the tiny birds such as finches, wrens, etc., you might want to use thistle seed. It is the finch's favorite food! Garden supply stores carry a sterile thistle seed just for bird feeding which is guaranteed not to sprout all over the yard).

18. BIRD FEEDER #6

Using a simple egg carton, you can help our feathered friends.

Materials:

• Egg carton
• String
• Birdseed

Instructions

1. Remove the lid and save for another use (to hold paints like a palate for example).
2. Fill the carton sections with birdseed.
3. Poke holes in the 4 corners of the carton and attach a string to each. Next gather the strings together at the center, knot, and hang the feeder outside.

19. BAGEL BIRD FEEDER WITH LARD

Materials:

• 1-day old bagel
• Lard
• Birdseed
• String or ribbon for hanging

Instructions

• Spread the lard on the bagel.
• Roll the bagel in the birdseed. (Or you may place the bagel in a gallon-sized zipper bag that contains birdseed; shake the bag to coat the bagel.)
• Tie ribbon or string through the hole of the bagel to hang the bagel. One of the good things about this bird feeder is that the birds can eat the whole thing!

20. BAGEL BIRD FEEDER WITH HONEY OR PEANUT BUTTER

For Each Bird Feeder, You Will Need:

• A day-old bagel
• Honey or peanut butter
• Birdseed
• String or ribbon for hanging

Instructions

1. Spread the peanut butter or honey onto the entire bagel.

BIRD THEMED SCIENCE ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS…

31. MAKE A REAL BIRD NEST!

Materials:

• Mud
• Sticks
• twigs
• pine needles or pebbles
• grass or leaves
• Birds also use yarn, thread, etc. (whatever they can find.)

Directions:

1. After showing children pictures of bird nests (Or a REAL bird nest kept in your science center) provide them with mud, sticks, grass, leaves, twigs, pine needles, and pebbles.
2. Let kids create their own bird nest complete with eggs–(left-over jelly beans, marbles or egg looking candy!)

32. EGG FLOAT

Instructions

1. Place a hardboiled egg in water. The egg will sink.
2. Challenge the children to tell you what they think will happen when you add salt to the water.
3. Add salt…Once you stir in enough salt the egg will float.

33. EXAMINE OWL PELLETS

FYI: WHAT IS AN OWL PELLET?

Like many birds, owls don't have teeth, so they swallow their food whole (or in parts). A pellet, in ornithology, is the mass of undigested parts of a bird's food that some bird species occasionally regurgitate. The contents of a bird's pellet depend on its diet, but can include the exoskeletons of insects, indigestible plant matter, bones, fur, feathers, bills, claws, and teeth.

The passing of pellets allows a bird to remove indigestible material from its glandular stomach. In birds of prey, the regurgitation of pellets serves the bird's health in another way, by 'scouring' parts of the digestive tract, including the gullet. Pellets are formed within six to ten hours of a meal in the bird's gizzard (muscular stomach).

IDEA:

1. Google ‘Owl Pellets' into your search engine–they can be purchased online at many stores.
2. Place pellets into a glass jar in the science center.

For older youth — consider dissecting the pellets to see what they will find!

33. Make 'Cupcakes' for Birds

I think this one is better for colder weather—in case it softens

Yooka laylee download free. Materials:

• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup birdseed
• 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
• 1/2 cup melted shortening
• muffin tins (greased or sprayed with Pam)
• sticks (about the size of a pencil)
• yarn or string

Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir together.
2. Drop the mixture into muffin tins, pressing it down with your fingers.
3. To create a hole for hanging, push a stick or dowel down in the middle. LET DRY.
4. Remove from the pan & take out the sticks. Thread yarn or string through the hole. Tie a loop and hang from a tree for the birds to enjoy.

34. EGG DROP

Each student works within guidelines to fashion a container for an egg so that the egg won't break when the student drops it from an established height…

Use hard-boiled eggs (you could probably do raw-but be cautious of Salmonella and spoilage!).
Have each child create their own container for the egg — with the purpose of the egg not breaking. Some kids have used 'parachutes,' and cans with foam. It can be a lot of fun!

Of course, everyone's hypothesis should be that their egg won't break.
The testing is the fun part—when the youth see if their egg remains intact! For this, you want to drop the egg container from the highest available point… A second-floor balcony, off the top bleacher of the football field, or by a teacher on a ladder?
*Even though this is for older students, it can be adapted to the lower grades without going into weight and velocity.

35. FRY AN EGG ON THE SIDEWALK!

On a very, very hot day, take an egg outside and demonstrate how you can fry an egg on asphalt. (Make sure it's really hot!)

36. SHELTER & OBSERVATORY FOR BIRDS

Turn a protected section of your home, program, or schoolyard into a natural shelter…

Set up a bird feeder, birdbath, and birdhouse where you and the children will be able to quietly observe. They'll enjoy watching different animals seek the food and water… and your birdhouse will be there when needed.

37. HELP THE BIRDS BUILD THEIR NESTS!

#1 IDEA: Lend a helping hand to the birds in your area by supplying them with simple nesting materials. All you need to do is fill a MESH BAG bag ( like the kind onions are packaged in ) OR A BERRY BASKET.

Fill with dried grass, short lengths of yarn and string, stuffing from old furniture or feather pillow— dryer lint, also hair from your brush. (Have the yarns/threads poke out of the mesh or basket so birds can easily access materials)

• Hang the bag in a location that the birds can safely access; watch the birds collect–hunt to see if you can find one of 'your' nests!

38. PROVIDE NEST SUPPLY BOX FOR BIRDS: IDEA #2

Materials:

• A Milk carton
• String
• Scissors
• Dryer lint
• Pet and people hair
• Bits of yarn and string

Instructions

1. Have adults cut a flap (about halfway down) on both sides of the milk carton.
2. Wash the inside of the milk carton and allow it dry.
3. Fold the flaps of the milk carton down to create a perch for the birds to land on.
4. To make the hanger: thread a long piece of string through the opening of the milk carton. Tie the two pieces of string together. Make sure you use strong knots or ask a grownup to help you.
5. Fill the box with the items you have collected (dryer lint, pet and people hair, bits of string, and yarn).
6. Hang your nesting supply box outside in a tree and keep checking to see if it needs replenishing.

39. LISTEN TO A CD OF BIRD SOUNDS…

Can the children hear the differences? After listening to a few times-can children identify the bird by their sounds?

To go along with this…collect bird books. Talk about names, colors, where they live what part of the country or world, etc.

BIRD THEMED GAMES!

40. EGG RACES!(Great for a Bird Theme!)

41. EGG TOSS

You'll need one, hard-boiled egg for each pair of children.

Instructions

1. Have the children stand across from a partner.
2. They should stand one foot apart.
3. When the leader says, 'Go' the children should toss the eggs to their partners.
4. With hard-boiled eggs, everyone can play the whole game because the eggs won't crack.
5. With each toss, the children should back up one step. Play until the eggs are destroyed and before the kids get bored.

42. https://ameblo.jp/856liasynturgosj/entry-12650236278.html. THE EGG-A-THON

This can be played as a race or relay…
Use a tablespoon and a hard-boiled egg or plastic Easter egg and plastic spoon.
Children try to walk fast holding the egg in the spoon to the finish line.
It can also be done as a relay and have one child in the middle of the race line waiting.
The children transfer the egg to their relay partner's spoon and go!

43. FOLLOW THE LEADER…

Give each child a tablespoon and a hard-boiled egg.
The children form a line and one is the leader.
Each one holds the spoon with the egg in its bowl at arm's length and hops on one foot, following wherever the leader leads them.
To drop the egg or rest on both feet prevents one from continuing in the game. They stay out until the next round.

44. BIRD SONG…

To tune of 'Here we go round the Mulberry Bush'

This is the way we scratch for worms, scratch for worms, scratch for worms.
This is the way we scratch for worms so early in the morning.

This is the way we peck our food, peck our food, peck our food.
This is the way we peck our food so early in the morning.

This is the way we sit on our eggs, sit on our eggs, sit on our eggs.
This is the way we sit on our eggs so early in the morning.

This is the way we flap our wings, flap our wings, flap our wings.
This is the way we flap our wings so early in the morning.

This is the way we fly away, fly away, fly away.
This is the way we fly away so early in the morning.

45. PENGUIN WADDLE RACE (or Relay Race)

Instructions

1. Using medium-size kickball size balls–have children place a ball between their legs and race to a point.
2. If this is being played as a 'Relay Race'–have kids race to the point and back. New runners continue…

BIRD WATCHING…

WHEREDO YOU START?
Some of the best bird watching is in your own back yard. Many colorful birds are there to see every day. It's easy to learn the birds that live around you.

YOU'LL ONLY NEED TWO THINGS to start watching birds…A BOOK AND BINOCULARS!

BINOCULARS let you see the birds up close. They let you see details of undersides and wings when the birds glide overhead.

A BOOK IS YOUR ‘FIELD GUIDE' and will help you learn the birds' names. It's like having an expert by your side so you'll know what you're seeing.

Two good books for bird watching with kids:
1.The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern North America
Written by a Bill Thompson III, editor of Bird Watcher's Digest
2.Backyard Bird Walk by Jane Kirkland… A great resource for parents and teachers who want to bird with kids. It teaches youth how to find and observe birds' nests without harming them. It shows how to tell what a bird eats by looking at its bill and tells how to help an injured bird.
HAPPY BIRDING!

HAVE YOU FOUND A BABY BIRD?

FYI: AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER… we all have the dilemma of what to do when we see a little bird (or bunny) and the parents aren't visible… (This would be a good thing to go over with your kids!)

HERE'S WHAT TO DO

1. Do not pick up the bird unless you are VERY sure it needs help. Sometimes, the mother will leave her baby alone for a specific reason. She could be watching from a nearby tree or burrow, getting food, or chasing away a predator, or playing decoy to one.

2. Do not remove the animal or bird from its den or nest UNLESS you KNOW the parents are dead. Only then should you consider becoming a foster parent.

3. If a young bird has fallen out of its nest, PUT IT BACK.

4. The old saying that birds will abandon their chicks if humans have touched them is not true. Birds have a very poor sense of smell, so you may safely place the baby in its nest. Remember, though, that the mother may have pushed the baby out. She could be teaching it to fly.

Some other tips in this case are: Can minecraft work on a mac.

1. If you have eggs, leave them alone. It is illegal to possess wild bird eggs. The parent birds will usually re-nest and start over.

2. If the chick is partially hatched, or hatched but has no feathers yet, put it in the nest. If you either can't see or reach the nest, you may put the baby in a plastic berry basket lined with paper towels to form a cup that you have placed securely on the trunk of the same tree.

3. If the baby is completely covered with feathers, chances are it is supposed to be out of the nest. You can place it on the top of a shrub away from predators.

4. Do not put the baby bird or animal in the wrong nest or burrow! Unlike the temporary nest you made above, putting the baby in the wrong natural nest can mean its death! Other birds and animals often kill those they see as 'interlopers.'

6. Wait and watch, first, to see what animal is using the nest site.

7. If the nest itself has fallen out of the tree, you can often put it back. Again, use a berry basket or a small square of screening as a base, and tie the nest to a limb. But don't use an old nest as a frame, because it could have mites or bacteria which could contaminate the newer nest.

8. If the baby is obviously in need of medical treatment, call a veterinarian or animal-rescue center. Basic first aid for bleeding and other emergencies is okay, but do not attempt to feed baby birds or give them water. They could choke.

9. While you're waiting for help, keep it warm and dry. You can use a heating pad on low setting, or a sealed jar of warm water, or a hot-water bottle.

10. Keep a towel between the animal and the heat source. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Baby animals, especially birds, can overheat quickly.

11. Release the animal when it has recovered. Try not to turn your patient into a pet. Macbooster 3 1 4. Wild animals belong in the wild. They are unpredictable, and find it hard to adapt to our ways. Furthermore, it is ILLEGAL to raise young birds and some animal species.

11. Finally, you should understand that despite your best efforts, some animals will die. That is also part of Nature's ways.

FOUND THIS GREAT FEBRUARY BIRD IDEA!
(There are also games, print-outs, and bird-fun on the site!)

The Great Backyard Bird Count (or GBBC) is an event that takes place over four days in February each year. It's very easy! All you have to do is watch birds in your yard, a nearby park, or maybe at your school. Then you tell what you saw by entering your bird list online. They collect that information from people all over the United States and Canada SO SCIENTISTS CAN LEARN WHAT KIND OF BIRDS ARE BEING SEEN IN THE WINTER AND WHETHER THERE ARE MORE OR FEWER THAN BEFORE!

Click here – to learn more about how to participate.

February is also Wild Bird Feeding Month!
