[Surnetkids] Bird Feeding

Dear Reader,

February is Black History Month, Wild Bird Feeding Month, and American Heart Month.

But in our home, February will be special because our very first grandchild will be turning one month old! Everyone is doing wonderfully, and our hearts are full of love.

See ya on the Net,

Because the cold winter months are the hardest for wild birds, February and March have been named National Bird Feeding Months by the National Bird Feeding Society. You can help your local bird population by providing supplemental food, water and shelter, and start a fun, educational hobby at the same time.

All About Birds: Feeding Birds

“Bird feeding has been an American tradition since at least the times of Emily Dickinson and Henry David Thoreau. It provides us with wonderful opportunities for close viewing of birds. It can also be good for birds.” All About Birds (from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology) provides terrific advice on choosing a bird feeder, types of bird seed, and where to place your feeder. For teacher resources, search for “curriculum” in the search box near the top of the page.

Birds & Blooms: DIY Bird Feeders

Birds & Blooms (from the bird and garden print magazine of the same name) presents twenty-seven fun bird feeders you can make with your kids. Here’s a short list of some the imaginative materials used: a coffee cup and saucer, a glass soda bottle, a muffin tin, a pie tin, PVC pipe, silverware, an embroidery hoop, and a tin can.

The Humane Society: Feeding Your Backyard Birds

Visit this Humane Society page for answers to commonly asked questions about feeding your backyard birds. “Should I feed birds year-round? It’s not necessary. Bird feeding is most helpful at times when birds need the most energy, such as during temperature extremes, migration, and in late winter or early spring, when natural seed sources are depleted.”
