Learning about birds is a wonderful way to connect with nature and develop new skills. Identifying birds can be fun and educational! By exploring these activities and resources, you can develop a deeper appreciation for birds and their roles in our environment. Here are some bird identification charts and resources for kids and beginners:
Cranes are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of plants, small animals, and insects.
Doves are small to medium-sized birds with plump bodies, short necks, and short slender beaks.
Ducks have waterproof feathers thanks to a special gland near their tails that produces oil.
Eagles are powerful birds of prey with excellent eyesight. They can spot prey from a mile away.
Hens prefer to lay their eggs in quiet, dark places. They often use nesting boxes filled with straw or other soft materials.
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds in the world. They have long necks, long legs, and covered in soft feathers.
