Big Schools' Birdwatch is a simple activity that gets you and your class closer to the birds visiting your school grounds.
Taking just one hour, the Birdwatch can be carried out in school, or by visiting a local outdoor space. The Birdwatch works across a wide age and ability range and there's plenty of flexibility to run it how you like. It could be a simple stand alone activity, or the centrepiece of cross-curricular studies, project work or as part of work to improve your school grounds.This year, Big Schools' Birdwatch will take place in the two weeks from 21 January - 1 February 2013. You can do your Birdwatch in any hour within those weeks. Make a recycled bird feederMake a bird feeder from the bottles you would throw away.Stuff you need
Plastic drinks bottles, yoghurt pots or milk cartons (make sure they're clean), wire or string, bird seed, scissors.
      Important notesThis will require adult help with cutting. Be aware of nut allergies.Steps
Cut a hole in the side large enough to allow a free flow of seeds, but in such a way that it won’t all fall out on the ground in the slightest puff of wind, and won’t get wet if it rains.
Make a few small holes in the bottom of your feeder to allow any rainwater to drain away.
Hang it with wire, or even strong string from a tree or your washing line.
If your feeder starts to wear out or the food in it goes mouldy, recycle it and make another one!
Remember to keep your feeders well stocked, especially in winter. Birds come to rely on them and will go hungry if you forget. 
Joke of the week
Why are parrots so clever?
Because the always suck seed!
