Tweet Treats

Today we listened carefully to the birds and talked about how some migrate to warmer climates during the winter months. Other birds stay, managing to keep warm by eating more food and fluffing up their feathers. These birds can get very hungry because worms are very difficult to get out of the ground when it is hard and frozen so they have to manage by finding berries or seeds. We decided to help them by making some special bread cone treats for the birds to feed on. We spread lard over the fir cones and then rolled them in bread crumbs before hanging them in the trees. Next week we’re going to see if the birds have had their tweet treat feast and whether they fly back for more!
