Birds, come and drink

  • Help
  • Caring
  • Observation
  • Responsibility

If we have some trees in the playground or in a close garden, let's make drinking places for the birds.

We will make a bath for the birds with soup dishes. Then we have to hang them from the trees in a place in which we don't have any problem to refill them.

Each plate will have three holes in the outer part, in order to hang them up, inserting some thin strings through them.

We can also place some feeding-boxes in witch we can leave some seeds and fruit peels for the birds to eat.

Once the feeders and the drinking places are hanging from the trees, we have to observe what the birds do when they approach to them.

Each day there will be one child (or more) responsible for refilling the feeders and the watering holes. Besides, everyday at the same hour, some others can drop some breadcrumbs. In a few days we will check how the birds come at once when they see the children in the playground.
