Celebrating Bird month in February

 February is National Bird Feeding Month. 

• My daughter and I have been making bird feeders and just throwing the bird seed out for the birds to eat. She has also been counting birds for The Great Backyard Bird Count.

• We printed these cute birds and cut them out and punched holes and will be making a banner with them or just hanging them from the ceiling to "fly" around the room.

• In the first picture we used cookie cutters and cut out the stale ends of bread and then spread with peanut butter and put the bird seeds on top. I used a drinking straw to poke a hole at the tip and tied ribbon through it to hang from trees outside.


• The last picture is a toilet paper roll smeared with peanut butter and rolled in birdseed. Then to hang it for the birds just stick it on a limb of the tree - no ribbon needed.

More Ideas:

• Listen to bird sounds on your computer through this website.
• Print out this free Backyard Birds Lapbook.
• Watch videos on how to draw birds and then draw some.
• Great activity to learn how birds use their beaks.
• View nest cams on youtube.
• We also will be getting some colorful yarn and cutting into smaller pieces and putting around so the birds can get it and use in their nests.
