Have you ever found a bird’s nest while exploring outside?  They are absolutely amazing.  What makes it even more incredible is that these little creatures do it all with no hands!  Bird nests can be made of twigs, grass, plants, mud, spider silk, moss, and almost any other materials birds can get their beaks on.  Some birds, like eagles, build their nests high in the trees to keep them safe from predators. Other birds build their nests on the ground or in low shrubs. There are as many types of bird nests as there are types of birds!  Come join us  for a fun challenge…can you build a nest using natural materials just like real birds do? NO GLUE OR TAPE ALLOWED!!! This “Make A Bird’s Nest” project is a fun way to test out our creative building ideas and problem solving!   This free nature activity program is for youth ages 5-10.
