Have you ever thought you'd like to do more for birds than just fill up the bird feeder? Today, we are making a Bird Home Improvement Center. It's a little like a store where birds can come and get some building materials to assist with their nest building. 

​

Also, in this episode, Chuck Darwin gives us the definition of the word AVES, Jack tells us what REALLY goes into Bird Nest Soup and Tito introduces us to a bird with a discriminating eye for decor. Listen to the episode here. 

​

After the episode, do the activity! Build a simple bird nest assisting project using a cardboard toilet paper roll and several things a bird might use to build nests with. This is a project that kids of most ages

can make. It teaches observation of the nest-building abilities of birds, and opens up a conversation about birds, nest materials, and different things birds use to build their nests.  You'll find more details in the episode.
