A birdfeeder needs to be washed in hot soapy water, just like our cafeteria trays. If you've forgotten what carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores are, go back and let Kenny's mom explain it to you again. Then take a bird count of the birds appearing at the feeder. Those making the count must have a bird guidebook and be familiar with the kinds of birds likely to visit the feeder. You'll need a tally sheet like the one below with the names of common birds.
Children can take turns working at the same time each day.
This count can then be used to make bar graphs to show and compare the numbers of different birds. Again count and graph the visitors to your feeder. Observe the eating habits of the birds in order to discover both carnivores and omnivores. Below is a a chart on which you can tally your bird count. Then graph your bird count in circle or bar graphs.
