Bird watching is a family activity that everyone can enjoy. Watching and learning about birds and their habitat will teach children about nature and its beauty. The best place to start is in your own backyard. You need to attract a variety of birds by installing bird houses, feeders and bird baths. Learn which plants and flowers attract specific birds in your area by studying field guides.
Teach your children to look for the color of the bird's beak and feet for easy identification. Buy a good pair of binoculars so your children can easily locate them. Learn about the different sounds birds make and create a bird book. You can write down the birds that you see and learn which ones frequent your area the most. You can make a game out of the bird songs you hear and mimic them.
Plan a bird watching trip with a guided tour group. These can be found in community centers and national parks. Most of these trips are family friendly and don't cost anything. If your children really enjoy bird watching, then you should invest in a good bird watching spotting scope. They are available online for around $100. This will make it easier for your children to identify birds.
Check out Cornell's Lab of Ornithology's citizen science program. Make it fun for your children to submit their findings and explain how it helps the science program. This is a great way to make your children feel a part of the science community. Bird watching is the perfect way to get your children outdoors and away from the Video Games, computer and television set.
Exploring nature is fun for children because it satisfies their basic need to learn. When you are on a guided bird watching tour, teach your children the importance of leaving nature as it is found. Let your children explore nature's beauty and they will be learning about their world at the same time. Let your children be a part of hanging bird feeders and bird baths. Teach them about bird houses and let them watch how birds build their nest in the spring.
