After the glow and excitement of Christmas is over, what to do with the Christmas tree is the question. If you place the tree near your bird feeder, you can teach your children about birds.
Children love a challenge, especially when they feel that they are helping in a project.
Set up a small table by the window near your Christmas tree feeder. One or two books for easy bird identification and a large table with a marking pen are the only other items you need. After spending some time beginning a list of bird visitors, leave your children in charge of the station while you prepare a meal. They become the sentries and learn how to recognize new visitors. Food, cover, and water are the three requirements of winter songbirds.
