Notes
I recommend you get a bird feeder and put it up. It will take a little while for the birds to find it, but once they do, they will be a fun addition to your yard or porch. We also added a birdbath and get feathered visitors year round. They have been such a source of joy and interest to our family.

If you live in one place long enough, your kids will be able to observe seasonal visitors to your feeder as well as “regulars”. We’ve seen baby birds raised in our backyard and have even had Hooded Orioles visit every year to raise their young nearby. Having a birdfeeder in your yard is a terrific way to observe all sorts of birds over the year!
