Educational Programs
Bird House Building Workshop
Before they build their bird houses, children learn about bird nesting habits and how bird houses can provide needed habitat. For scouts, building bird or bat houses can be a fun way to meet badge requirements. These workshops are also enjoyed by children in school classrooms, environmental clubs, summer camps, and by families gathered for community events.
Birds of Our Neighborhood
This program is ideal for classroom situations. Many teachers invite Wild Bird Center educators back year after year to teach their students about birds. They've found that our two-part program (combining presentation and application) fosters an immediate enthusiasm for birds, and an enduring sense of connection with the natural world.
The Birds of Our Neighborhood program begins with a 20-30 minute presentation involving bird calls, color pictures, and audio tapes. We teach children to identify common area birds, and to appreciate special feeding and nesting habits. To apply what they have learned, children may then observe birds at a feeder outside their classroom. By referring to charts and posters, they identify feeder visitors and learn to recognize common patterns of behavior.
