A Garden of Pets - by Sandra Wilson
You can be a bird watcher. You can learn and care about birds in the wild, then you can have a garden of pets. These birds will know where they will be cared for and so, they will continue to come to your garden.
Here's something to help you get started
Hold your mouse over each picture to find out the name of the bird!
Having a garden of pets is easy.All you need is a bird feeder and a tree.
Or somewhere else that a bird feeder can hang from.
Get yourself a bird feeder
The best time to watch birds is in the morning.Watch the birds eat their breakfast while you are eating yours.
Birds and Breakfast
In spring, birds will build their nests and lay their eggs. Young birds sometimes look different from an adult. Male birds are often a brighter colour than the female. And, birds can change colours with the seasons too! Get a bird guide
A bird guide will help you identify the birds in the different seasons.
