Bird Watching By Marina Benson

What should you do this summer vacation?

Go bird watching!

Parents are now getting creative to have fun with their kids by going and doing things like picnics in the park, flying kites, fishing, and bird watching with their families.

Most outdoor activates will be surrounded by birds. Birds are fun to watch because they are cute and adorable. You can learn so much from watching them. You can learn how to identify birds by species, what they like to eat, how they live, and their natural habitat just by watching them.

For bird watching you don’t need to go too far. You can watch birds from the comfort of your home in your backyard. To have them in your backyard you will need to purchase a bird feeder. A bird feeder can hold a large capacity of seeds so you don’t have to fill it as often. Birds like to eat seeds, bugs and worms. When you hang the bird feeder on a tree, close to a tree or in an open field you will see many different types of birds in your bird feeder.  

If you see a bird that you can’t identify or want to know how birds live, or know where their natural habitats are you can buy a backyard bird guide with the description of all types of backyard birds within your state.

 Another thing you will need to buy is a birdbath or garden fountain. Birds like to bathe or drink water from a birdbath or a garden fountain.
