Feed the Birds
Some
animals collect seeds and store them for the Winter.
Some animals search for seeds all winter long.
You may want to help and feed the birds this winter.
This
is a commitment because birds grow accustomen to your feeders.
Birds need to burn more calories
in the wnter in order to stay warm.
Provide nutricious seeds as well as fat such as suet or peanut
butter.
Here is a simple bird feeder you can make with little ones.
