"Help wintering birds"

Feed the birds in winter! Let flocks of people flock to your porch from all over, as if it were home. Teach the birds to your window in the cold, So that we don’t have to welcome spring without songs!

Relevance of the project

2017 in the Russian Federation by Decree of President V.V. Putin declared the year of ecology.

In modern conditions, the problem of environmental education of preschool children is of current importance. It is during the period of preschool childhood that the formation of personality and the formation of the beginnings of ecological culture take place. Environmental education is the education of morality and spirituality. On the one hand, preschool children are interested in living nature, but on the other hand they show cruelty and indifference. Therefore, it is very important to instill in children an interest and love for nature, and teach them to take care of the world around them.

And this work needs to begin with the environment closest to the child. Most modern children rarely communicate with nature. Birds surround us everywhere. Their importance in human life and in nature is very great. They destroy countless insects, maintaining the ecological balance in nature, and delight us with their singing. Birds have a difficult time in winter. They often go hungry. Many birds die during severe frosts. Tits, for example, lose up to 10% of their weight overnight at temperatures below -10.

But even in the most severe frosts, birds can survive if they have enough food. A particularly difficult time comes for birds at the end of winter, when almost all the food everywhere has been eaten. So the birds fly closer to people’s homes. The task of adults is to arouse children's interest in wintering birds, compassion, a desire to learn new facts from life, and teach them to help them.

Application

“Feed the birds in winter!”

Feed the birds in winter! Let flocks of people flock to your porch from all over , as if it were home . Their food is not rich. They need a handful of grain, one handful - and they won’t be afraid of winter. It’s hard to count how many of them are dying. It’s hard to see. But in our heart there is also warmth for the birds... .

(A. Yashin)

In our middle group “Bees”, as part of the environmental project “Help Wintering Birds”, the “Bird Canteen” event was held. Parents responded and made bird feeders. Many thanks to them.

Many people, when feeding birds in winter, hang homemade feeders from various materials (boxes, plastic bottles). But few people think about what will happen to the feeders after winter. Some become limp and turn into trash, others hang on trees for several years, not making our parks and yards more attractive.

The guys and I studied the menu of wintering birds in our region and decided to make waste-free edible cookie feeders for them.

First, we prepared everything we needed: various food, molds, and gelatin. Then we mixed different types of feed and prepared gelatin.

Then there’s the “creative process of cookie formation.” We inserted a tube into the middle of each cookie-feeder and then thread a string into this hole. The cookies were taken to the refrigerator, and when they froze, they were hung on the site.

The birds liked our treat, and the next morning there was no trace of the feeders left.
