Forests provide birds with food, nest sites and protection. Birds, in turn, help the forest by scattering tree seeds and eating insects that may harm trees.
Organisms are interdependent.
They depend on other organisms and nonliving components of the earth. The study of birds can be used in the context of many different areas of learning. Assign a student or a group of students a bird. Have students use the information they find to write a letter to a pen pal from the bird's point of view. Read the letters out loud to the class and see if they can guess what type of bird is writing the letter.
