House Sparrow I like to live near people
Black – headed gull You might see me on the play ground after play time – why?
Magpie You can see me in gardens, parks, playing fields and woods.
Blackbird You’ll see me near gardens and playing fields too! I like to sing!
Blue tit You need to look in the trees for me. I like to eat caterpillars, nuts and seeds.
Robin You usually see me on my own. I like to eat worms!
Wood Pigeon I clap my wings together as I fly. I eat plants and seeds.
Great tit You will see me in gardens, parks, playing fields and woods. I like to eat caterpillars and nuts.
Starling In summer I lose my spots. I like to pull worms and grubs from people’s lawns and fields.
Chaffinch My red front means I am a male. I like to eat seeds, but feed my chicks on insects.
Make a bird feeder!(Make the birds happy!) You will need: A small foil case String Lard Bird seed
How to make a bird feeder: 1: Make a hole in the foil pie case with a pair of scissors. 2: Tie a knot in some string and thread it through the hole to hang it up with.
4: Pour in some bird seed and mix together for a tasty treat.
5: Now it gets messy! Squish the mixture into the foil case and chill it in the fridge until it’s firm.
6: It's now ready to hang in your garden or outside a window.
Alternatively, cover a pine cone in lard and roll in bird seeds to make them stick. Finally tie a string around the top to hang it by.
