Below are ideas on how to make your yard bird-friendly along with ways to enhance a child’s inquisitive nature. Trail walks, library visits, feed store purchases, and hands-on experiences could lead to an A+ on a future school report.
Feeding stations, bird houses. and water supply.
Children will love filling bird feeders with seed and liquid-like nectar in the hummingbird feeders. Scoops of grape jelly draw in orioles and finches. I’ve seen robins eat it too. Fresh water is a must.

Library visits and nature walks pique interest.
Enjoy the summer and give your children an opportunity to take on the responsibility of bird caring. They might receive an A+.
