Bird feeding

While you are patiently awaiting the nesting season to begin here are some specific feeders with specific food for specific birds!!!

*Have your kids help- They can choose the bird they want to see, then as a family buy or build the feeder. Finally let them fill the feeder with food. 

All of this information came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Build a birdfeeder…Save a bird =)
