Inspectors of the State Public Nature Reserve “Kichke-Tan”

How do birds survive during winter? This was the question that opened the talk of nature reserve experts with the little ones. It is during winter frosts that birds try to get closer to human habitation, which means it is high time we made birdhouses for them and hung them up.

Children attending the nursery nailed, pulled strings, crafted birdhouses and hung them up on their territory with great pleasure under the supervision of adults.

At the end of the meeting, inspectors explained to the children that in winter more birds visit birdhouses since it is hard for the birdkind to get food from under the snow. If we feed birds on a regular basis, they won’t die, their number will increase, and during spring and summer they will help trees and people get rid of harmful insects. Birds usually appear near birdhouses early in the morning, namely at dawn, and that’s why food should be left overnight. Children attending the nursery and their teachers promised to fill birdhouses every day.
