Backyard bird watching is a perfect way for kids to experience and interact with nature. Let them learn about their surroundings. Let them create things for the birds to use and eat. Let them track their discoveries. Let them write stories about their experiences. Let them read and listen to captivating antics and songs. Let them sit, enraptured in stillness and wonder, by the coming and goings of their new=found feathered friends.
If you haven't noticed already, you just covered reading, writing, math, social studies, science, art, music, and spirituality.

2 Kid-Friendly Bird Books you'll want to have
Birds of New Jersey Field Guide
This pocket-size full-color book has COLOR-CODED edged pages for easy finding of birds by young & old alike. Dog-ear any birds you see in your backyard. We have over 20 dog ears & growing! The kids love this book. It gives tons of details about all aspects of the birds - what they eat, type of nest, color of eggs, their unique quirks.
Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds in Song
My 6 year-old picked out this book @ the bookstore & hasn't stopped using it. It plays the actual songs of 250 birds. So, when you're walking in the neighborhood, on a path or in a Wildlife Conservatory, you & your children can know the surrounding birds by their songs. You'll be amazed! We were amazed to hear the delicate song of a Bald Eagle! Listen to the endless chatter of a Mockingbird . . . an awesome part of keeping children involved & interested in birdwatching.
Backyard Bird-feeders
CARDINAL (Northern Cardinal)
Cardinals seem to show up more in the winter. And thank goodness they do! They add bright splashes of color to an otherwise monotonous gray landscape.
The dull gray Cardinals are the females or the youth.
Cardinals are skittish around our birdfeeder - and definitely prefer the big seeds, high quality stuff.
Takiela's Field Guide Basics (see book above) says:
Size: 8-9"
Nest: cup
Migration: no
Food: seeds, insects, fruit, will come to seed feedes
Notes: Male feeds female during courtship. Latin name means "important."
Black-capped Chickadee
These sweet little birds will instantly have you realizing what W.C.Fields meant by "my little chickadee."
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 5"
Male & Female look the same
Migration: no
Food: insects, seeds, fruit, attracted to seed & suet feeders
Notes: Usually the first bird to find a new bird feeder.
This is true! The chickadees were the first to find our recently added feeder!
Other notes: Needs to feed every day - even during the worst winter storms!
Tufted Titmouse
These guys are the regulars. They have their own routine and come one or two at a time.
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 6"
Slate gray bird with white chest & belly. Male & female look the same.
Migration: no
Food: insects, seeds, fruit, comes to seed & suet feeders
Note: Name from Scandinavian "Tit" = little, and Old English "mase" = bird.
Hummingbirds (Ruby-Throated Hummingbird)
If you want more hummingbirds, you need the tubular flowers in your garden - go to Top Hummer Plants at GardenWeb.com to find the best hummingbird plants for your Zone.
HINT: They like the same flowers that butterflies like!
Or, you need to get plastic hummingbird feeders and fill them with the liquid nectar.
The kids LOVE hummingbirds - as do we all! It's a bit of heaven right up close. The kids also love keeping track of how many hummingbirds have visited (because hummers are soooo special) - so make a chart!
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 3- 3 1/2"
Migration: complete, to southern states, Mexico & Central America
Notes: The Sphinx Moth looks very similar but has clear wings & a mouth part that curls up when not @ a flower & moves slower than a hummingbird.
Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards. They can flap 50 to 60 times per second. Does not sing, but will chatter or buzz.
Bald Eagle
These, on rare occassions, are seen year-round in the tree tops of the Northwestern tip of New Jersey (where we're lucky enough to live!).
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 31 - 37"
Migration: partial, to southeastern states
Food: fish, carrion, ducks
Notes: Young ones attain white head at about 4 or 5 years old.
American Goldfinch
These males are striking! But be forewarned - you won't recognize them in the winter when they have the dull olive yellow color of the females - you have to wait until the males molt in the Spring to their bright yellow!
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 5"
Nest: cup
Migration: partial, moves around North America in flocks (but year-round in NJ)
Food: seeds, insects, will come to seed feeders
These guys enjoy thistle. Thistle feeders are like these a.k.a. finch feeders - look like mesh bags with thin long black thistle seeds inside. The birds like to peck the seeds out of the tiny bag holes - just as they would peck it off of the thistle plants.
Mourning Doves
These beautiful birds are priceless. We had one build a nest right in front of our front door. The mourning dove never left the nest. I truly don't now how "they" did it - although I believe that the male & female take turns giving us the appearance of one bird. They sat motionless on that nest just looking at us every morning and every evening with those gentle eyes.
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 12"
Year-round in NJ
Food: seeds, will come to seed feeders (but ours like to eat from the ground better)
Notes: Tend to mate for life (7 - 10 years). Flimsy platform nest often falls apart in a storm. Name comes from mournful cooing.
Our family's Mourning Dove anecdote: For months we heard an owl in the evening and in the morning, but not at night time. We kept wondering how an owl's clock could be so backwards. Come to find out, we weren't hearing an owl at all - we were hearing the soft "cooo, cooo" of our morning dove friends.
Blue Jays
It's hard sometimes to be grateful for Blue Jays who are such aggressive birds. But we are grateful, because they are also the watchdogs of the neighborhood. And when trouble (in the form of circling hawks) comes calling, you can be sure our Blue Jays are sounding the alarm to all of the others to get out of sight & to protect their young!
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 12"
Male & female look alike.
Food: insects, fruit, carrion, seeds, nuts, attracted to seed feeders
Migration: no (year-round in NJ)
Notes: Feathers do not actually have blue pigment, rather refracted sunlight casts blue light.
Woodpeckers - Downy, Red-bellied, Pileated
(in that order, and size order, and in order of most frequency to our home)
Downy Woodpeckers are frequent visitors to our Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Downy size = 6" Males have red spot on back of head. Year-round in NJ; One of the most abundant woodpeckers. Will come to seed & suet feeders.
Red-bellied looks like a cartoon character; size = 9" apx. (will come to seed & suet feeders)
Pileated size = 19", will come to suet feeders, favorite food is carpenter ants, relatively shy & prefers large tracts of woodland.
White-breasted Nuthatch
These guys are fun regulars. They can hop unside down - all the way down a tree trunk.
Tekiela's Field Guide says:
Size: 5 - 6"
Non-migrator; year-round in NJ
Nest: cavity
Food: insects, seeds, will come to seed and suet feeders

How to Build a Simple Bird Feeder Video
Tips for Making your Kid-friendly Backyard Bird Feeder
- Notice I didn't show a peanut butter pine cone feeder video? Because peanut butter pinecones usually make it through a few rains, but then get pretty disgusting
- You could use a bleach bottle, but the clear 2 liter bottles or clear big juice bottles work better.
- I don't recommend making all 4 holes like in the video because too much rain gets in and makes the seeds soggy & then moldy; plus the wind will spill too much out.
- I recommend 1 hole on each side.
- I also recommend doing something to give the birds a perch to sit. Either tape-over the jagged plastic bottom edge of the hole. Or, cut 2 small slits or side holes next to the big opening, and run 2 dowels through the holes on opposite sides of the bottle, to get the birds a perch. We did this latter idea, and it worked very well. We used a CLEAR large apple/grape juice bottle and it lasted for a long time!
- These home-made feeders are easy for the kids to fill up with just a simple scooper or paper cup.
- I recommend hanging it where you can reach it easily so the kids (or you) can fill it up easily.
- If you have chipmunks, the kids will love watching the chipmunks sitting completely INSIDE the bird feeder!
- Of course, squirrels come with the territory. Not much you can do there. Some commercial feeders do better keeping their pesky noses out. But the kids really treasure the ones they made more - plus, the kids actually enjoy yelling at the squirrels to "get away" from the birds' food!
- But so do racoons & bears. So, we take our bird feeders in at night. We didn't used to do this until . . . 1 racoon came the 1st night, then 2 the 2nd night, . . ., until the 4th night when 4 racoons were lounging on our 10' high deck. Our daughter still talks about the racoons who ran off with every last bit of every bird feeder we had. We bring them in now.
- Definitely have the kids paint and decorate the bird feeder. Let them go wild! Get a bag of stuff from the discount store, those bags with shapes of foam, sequins, pom poms, sparkly things, etc. Have them use poster paint & glue the stuff & string onto the bird feeder. You'll be the hit of the neighborhood!
