Thanks for the vote of approval and advise, Joy. I have plans to add a section on making bird houses and feeders, including the bird feeders my husband and I have designed, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. I will post them and add them to this birdwatching post someday soon, so stay tuned!

May I suggest adding a section on making bird houses and feeders? You can use natural objects such as logs or pinecones (and many other things) to make an easy bird feeder. And building a birdhouse is a great way to help kid develop eye-hand coordination and learn basic woodworking skills – with adult help of course. Thanks again for this well-thought-out article!

Thanks Taylor! Bird identification with a field guide is a great way to get children interested in birding. Thanks for stopping by, happy backyard birdwatching!

My son loves to watch the birds fly to our bird feeder every morning and I want to get him more into bird watching. I’ll have to try some of these tips to pique his interest even more for bird watching.
