A bird diary is a record of all the birds you have seen. Here’s how you can prepare information for your bird diary:
●Find a quiet place where there are lots of birds. Birds like places where they can find food and water.
●Sit in a place where you will stay quiet. Don’t scare the birds with sudden movements or loud noises.
●Make notes about the birds. Look at one bird at a time. What can you see? Write about it in a small notebook. At home copy your notes up clearly into your bird diary.
●Draw pictures of the birds. Do quick drawings in your notebook. You can also take photos of the birds. At home, copy the drawings into your bird diary. Put photos into your bird diary, too.
It’s easy to forget things. Here are some questions you should ask yourself:
●What color is the bird? Some birds have bright colors to attract (吸引) other birds. Some birds are the same color as the land they live on, so that enemies don’t see them.
● ______? Some birds have wide powerful wings. Others have small wings that move quickly when they fly. You can stick feathers (羽毛) in your bird diary. Remember never to steal eggs from them.
●What is the bird’s beak like? Birds with short beaks, like finches (雀类), eat seeds. Some birds, like hoopoes (戴胜鸟), have long sharp beaks to catch worms. Hawks and eagles (鹰) have strong beaks. They eat meat.
●What are the bird’s feet like? Can they catch the tree? Are they good for walking or swimming?
