Bird buddy

This time of year, many birds are returning to Calgary after a long migratory journey! Let’s make sure they fly back to their homes, and not into ours.

Supplies

  • String/ribbon
  • Pony beads
  • Craft feathers

Directions

Step one

Thread two beads onto your string/ribbon, keeping beads close to the end of string.

Step two

Poke a few feathers into the middle of the beads. Pull the beads down so the feathers stay in place.

Step three

Hang up your bird buddy in a window to warn birds to not fly into your window.

Bird friends song

(Sing to the tune of “Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)

“Talons, feathers, tufts and beak,
Tufts and beak, tufts and beak.
Talons, feathers, tufts and beak,
Eyes, ears, wings and tail”.
