List of migratory and wintering birds. Birds at different times of the year. wintering birds pictures for kids

Hello dear guys! The section "Projects" continues its work for children and parents, helping to find the information necessary for the lessons. Today's topic is migratory and wintering birds. We will talk about why, where and what birds fly away from us, and also why some of them are in no hurry to leave the house.

Lesson plan:

bird species

All birds are divided into three types:

sedentary - such birds live in the same territory permanently, without changing their place of residence, usually they are representatives of the tropics and subtropics; in the northern regions and the central part of Russia, these are those city birds that are accustomed to living close to humans,
nomadic - they constantly move somewhere, and regardless of the weather and season, they fly from one place to another, but within their habitat, they do this in order to find more food,
migratory - these, when the seasons change, regularly make long flights from north to south and back, these include most of those living in the northern and temperate zones.

You will not see migratory birds in winter, they fly away and return to us when the weather warms up. But settled and nomadic - wintering, they will be close to us throughout the entire cold season.

Who and why flies away from their homeland?

Migratory birds include swallows, wild geese, starlings, rooks and many others. When cold weather sets in, they fly away to where it is warm, returning back to their native places, which they left in the fall.

Why do birds leave their homelands?

Among the main reasons are cold and lack of food. Winter time is not as scary for them as the lack of food. Feathers are warm-blooded creatures, their average body temperature is about 41 degrees. In addition, down under the plumage helps prevent hypothermia. Therefore, they are able to maintain their vital activity in the harsh winter, which cannot be said about their activity without a sufficient amount of food.

What do birds eat in summer?

Mostly insects. All their live prey - bugs and worms - either die with cold weather or go to bed, hiding deep in the ground. Therefore, those who do not have grain or plant roots on the menu are forced to fly to warm countries where there are a lot of insects.

Among the inhabitants of the forests and settlements half of the birds are migratory. Almost everything that lives in swamps and reservoirs fly away to where it is warmer. So, storks and herons are going on a long journey when ponds and rivers freeze. It is difficult to get frogs and fish out from under the ice, and small rodents have long hidden in their minks.

Did you know?! The rook is the last of all to fly away. But he is among the first to return from wintering to his native land, somewhere between March 4 and 23. Therefore, there is an expression: "The rooks opened the spring." After them, starlings and larks fly home.

How do birds know when and where to fly?

When autumn comes migratory birds they gather in flocks, arranging training, so that later they can fly for several hours, overcoming enormous distances, while not losing their course. How do they do it?

Migratory birds can determine the way without a compass. Scientists have proven that they absolutely accurately determine their geographical location, flying over long distances every year, perfectly orienting themselves in time and space.

Ornithologists believe that the sun at noon above the horizon can serve as a guide for them.
Some experts are sure that for their path the birds use the magnetic lines surrounding the Earth, which are located in the direction from the north to the south pole.
There is also a version that birds can use the stars, determining their location by the constellations.

Be that as it may, many experiments have already been carried out when birds were taken away over long distances, and they returned to their native nests over and over again.

Many prepare for the flight in advance, when it is still warm. An instinct laid down by nature, like a bell, gives them the order to fly south in order to survive the winter and return back to hatch the chicks. Scientists call this the migratory impulse, which serves as the start for the flight. Also, the trigger that calls for flight is the changed length of the day. By the beginning of autumn, daylight hours are getting shorter.

Some species during the flight reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, rising to a height of 3 thousand meters. Bird travel is associated with difficulties and dangers. The smaller the bird, the shorter its path in one flight. Birds are capable of not stopping for 80 hours or more! They interrupt the flight to gain strength and feed, so long-distance flights can last up to three months.

Did you know?! The migratory cuckoo flies to Africa. But unlike other birds, no one has yet observed these birds in flocks. They strangely disappear in the autumn, and the older ones earlier than the younger generations. And they usually fly at night and, probably, alone.

Which countries do migratory birds fly to?

Many of them love Africa. Birds fly there even from the Arctic and Siberia. Most waterfowl, such as ducks and swans, winter in western Europe. From Russia, thrushes and starlings move to the French or Spanish south, but cranes are lovers of the banks of the river called the Nile. Among the long-distance marathon runners are anemones from Eastern Siberia. They have chosen the coast of New Zealand for wintering.

However, among migratory birds there are patriots who move within our country closer to the warm domestic south. Among them are the gray crow and the black rook.

Did you know?! Some species of ducks called "mallard" cross more than one country on the way to the wintering place. They fly over Belarus, Ukraine, through Germany and Holland, through Denmark and Great Britain, as well as through northern Italy, and, in the end, stop in the west of Europe.

Who stays with us?

Many birds do not fly anywhere and stay with us for the winter. These include those that, in addition to insects, can peck at seeds, grains, berries and bread crumbs. Among such wintering birds are the well-known sparrows and magpies, pigeons and crows, bullfinches and tits.

In winter, in the forest, you can hear how persistently knocking on the trunk of a woodpecker. He is not afraid of cold weather, and extracts food in the form of larvae and insects harmful to the tree from under the bark. In addition to being a forest attendant, he also does a good deed for other birds and small animals, hollowing out hollows - houses in which new residents later settle.

The capercaillie does not leave its land either, because it has a lot of food in the winter forest - it feeds on pine needles.

Black grouse and hazel grouse, for which berries and juniper buds, as well as alder catkins, serve as food, will not remain hungry.

Did you know?! Klest not only feels good in winter, eating spruce nuts from cones. Even in the cold, he manages to build nests for himself and have offspring.

No matter how wintering birds are adapted to the winter, our task is to help them survive in the cold. You can arrange canteens for birds with the help of feeders. If you pour grain and bread crumbs there every day, the birds will get used to the feeding place and will delight you with their appearance, arriving for lunch.

There is even a special day of the year when a feeder or birdhouse must be hung up. After all, on this day all the birds celebrate their holiday. When exactly is it celebrated? Find out about it.

This is how you can briefly and interestingly talk about feathered friends. And I propose to end the project with a poem on the topic:

Feed the birds in winter.

Let from all over

They will flock to you, like home,

Stakes on the porch.

Train the birds in the cold

To your window

So that without songs it was not necessary

We welcome spring.

On this I say goodbye with the wishes of new discoveries.

Good luck with your studies!

Evgenia Klimkovich.

Russia is a large area of land where many species of animals live. includes about 780 species. About a third of the birds are migratory. Often they are called migratory, because after the onset of cold weather they have to temporarily leave their usual area and migrate to the wintering area.

Where do migratory birds fly to?

Migratory birds make constant seasonal movements from the nesting place to the wintering place. They fly both long and short distances. average speed birds of different sizes during the flight reaches 70 km / h. Flights are made in several stages, with stops for feeding and rest.

It is known that not all males and females from the same pair migrate together. Separated couples reunite in the spring. The end point of the birds' journey is places with similar weather conditions. The forest bird looks for areas with a similar climate, and field birds look for areas with similar food.

List of migratory birds

barn swallow

These birds from Russia spend the winter in Africa and South Asia. Swallows fly at low altitude during the day.

Migration of these birds occurs from the end of August, they fly mainly in the evening and at night. During migration, herons can reach a flight altitude of up to 2000 meters.

Oriole

This small bright bird migrates long distances in autumn and winters in tropical Asia and Africa.

Most of these birds, during the cold season, move to the south of Europe, to Egypt, Algeria and India. They return to nesting sites early, when the snow lies.

Robin

Robin refers to migrants at medium distances.

field lark

In the spring, one of the very first, in March, arrives from wintering. Larks fly day and night in small flocks.

Quail

Most often, quails during migration move through the Balkans and the Middle East. The first migratory flocks consist almost entirely of males.

The cuckoo mostly flies at night. It is believed that cuckoos can fly up to 3600 km in one flight without stopping.

Marsh warbler

They arrive at their native area only at the end of May. Arrives for wintering in Central and South Africa.

white wagtail

Autumn migration is a natural continuation of the summer migrations of young and adult individuals that have completed their reproduction. Migration occurs mainly along water bodies.

Which birds fly south first?

First of all, birds fly away, which are very dependent on air temperature. This:

Herons
Cranes
storks
wild geese
Swans
Thrushes
Rooks
swallows
Starlings
Larks

Output

Many people believe that birds fly away because they don't like changes in the weather. Most migratory birds have good warm plumage that traps heat. However, the main reason for flights is the lack of food in the winter. Birds flying to warmer climes in winter feed mainly on worms, insects, beetles and mosquitoes. During frosts, such living creatures either die or hibernate, so during this period of the season the birds simply do not have enough food.

Migratory birds - video

The most interesting thing for children is to watch live birds on a walk. Often, kids have their favorite birds among the birds, to which they give names and even claim that they can distinguish them from all other birds in the yard.

Make a feeder, pour food into it. Very soon, the birds will get used to the fact that there is always food for them here, and they will begin to fly to your feeder. Watch them with your child. The most useful and most interesting thing is to make a whole series of such observations. A series of observations will give the baby much more for his mental and speech development than just reading a story about wintering birds or watching an educational film. After all, the film is likely to be quickly forgotten without consolidating and applying the information received.

In observations of wildlife, the child will learn to compare, draw conclusions, ask questions and look for answers to them, describe, find the exact words to express their thoughts.

What can we see in such observations? What should children pay attention to?

1. How do birds differ from each other in appearance? How are they similar? (They have a head, eyes, a beak to peck seeds, wings to fly, a body, paws, a tail, a body covered with feathers)

Compare, for example, a sparrow and a crow - how do they differ and how are they similar? (The crows are big. And the sparrows are small, gray-brown, they fly in a flock, nimble, jump on two legs. The crows are gray-black, a crow flies alone. A crow walks in a waddling, important, slowly). How are sparrows and doves similar and different? (The sparrow is smaller than the dove, it is of a different color. The sparrow jumps, and the dove walks. The sparrow chirps, and the dove cooes)

2. What is the difference between the habits of different birds:

how they peck food in the feeder (immediately sit on the feeder or be careful and first sit on the bushes, and only then fly up to the feeder),
whether they quarrel or not, whether they give in to each other,
how birds fly and walk
Are they close to people?
live alone or in flocks
what kind of food do they like (titmouse and woodpeckers like to eat unsalted lard, lard can be hung on a thread to the feeder, bullfinches and waxwings - berries, seeds are eaten by all birds, but sparrows and oatmeal love oats and millet)
at what time of the day they arrive at the feeder (when it is light),
in what cases birds make sounds - they shout, call to each other, and in what cases they silently peck grains,
what kind of beak the birds have and is it possible to guess what the bird eats by the shape of the beak (It is possible that birds that eat insects have a thin and narrow beak, and those birds that eat grain have a blunt and thicker beak)
What footprints do birds leave in the snow? (try to draw them and learn to read "bird stories" in the footsteps - what birds flew in, who did they meet at the feeder, how many birds were at the feeder?). This task is very popular with children. They feel like real trackers.
why, when a crow flies up, doves and sparrows fly away? (The crow is large, it has a strong beak, and small birds are afraid of it. That is why it is better to feed the crow separately so that it does not take away food from small birds)

Here are some notes for observing the habits of wintering birds with children.

sparrows- nimble, cheerful, mobile, often quarrel. They are bullies, they like to snatch her seeds from under the nose of the titmouse, they stay in a flock.

Here we are tap dance. They are noisy and talk to each other. The seeds peck. Tap dances can be different. There are brown tap dances with a gray breast, and there are with a red breast. Tap dancers are our guests. They come to us for the winter from the north.

pigeons slow, calm, not so shy, come close to a person.

Bullfinches- calm, sedate birds. And the sound of their voices is special - they whistle softly (they ring like bells). If they need to fly somewhere, then they come to life, call to each other and fly away with the whole flock. Bullfinches are very fond of eating berries, grain, ash and maple seeds. They come to us from the north - they are also our guests.

Crows, magpies, jackdaws - this is all "crow's relatives". They come to us from the forest in winter. In the forest, they always fly away from people, and in the city they are less afraid of people. In the evening they fly in flocks over the city, and then they fly to the park, sit there on the branches of trees and fall asleep until morning. Ravens are smart, do not come close to a person, cautious, waddling. Magpies are large, gray, and the head and wings are black. Her sides are white. Therefore, forty are called "variegated." Magpie jumps. She likes to eat unsalted bacon on the feeder.

titmouse have yellow breast and a black cap on his head, white cheeks. They love to peck at lard, swinging on a rope, for which the lard is attached to the feeder.

Goldfinches come in flocks. They are very beautiful - there is a red spot on the forehead, and yellow stripes on the black wings. They are very mobile - real gymnasts! Goldfinches are fidgety, noisy, constantly screaming, quarreling, making noise, crouching, eating seeds.

During the observation, you can read poems about these birds to children. Poems about wintering birds for the youngest and older children can be found in this series of articles. It is very convenient to write or print poems on cards (the size of a quarter of an album sheet) and carry it with you for a walk in a pocket or purse. At any time, you can get a card and read the desired poem or guess a riddle.

Wintering and wandering birds in fairy tales, games, stories, riddles and tasks for kids

Very often, we, adults, do not know what kind of bird it is, we cannot tell children about it in an interesting way or answer the numerous questions of our whys. Therefore, I decided to make a kind of anthology for kids and adults on the Native Path, prepared pictures of wintering birds, coloring books, games, educational stories and fairy tales, assignments, poems and riddles on this topic. This anthology will consist of several parts. and about each wintering or wandering bird you will find a separate article with fairy tales, stories, pictures and tasks, cartoons.

I deliberately did not distribute this material by age of children. You can choose the excerpts, games, tasks that you like.

Wintering birds. Pictures for children.

Compare with the baby birds in these pictures. How are the two birds in each picture similar? What is the difference?

According to such paired pictures, it is very convenient to guess riddles-descriptions of wintering birds. And all the kids love to guess riddles and invent them! You describe the bird (without naming it) - talk about what wings, chest, head it has, how it walks, what it eats, and the baby guesses who you have guessed. Then the kid will be able to guess a riddle for you by describing the bird.

Speech game "Say the opposite"

In this speech game, the baby will learn to use words that are opposite in meaning to a given word (we are adults - we call such words antonyms).

Always rely on the experience of the child, inventing tasks for such games. Show the birds in the picture, photo or real birds on the feeder.

Sample tasks for children on the topic "Wintering Birds":

The crow is big, but the sparrow is what? (little)
Magpie long-tailed, and sparrow - what? (short-tailed)
The woodpecker is long-beaked, and the sparrow is what? (short-billed)
The crow's beak is big and thick, what about a sparrow? (small and thin)
The bullfinch has a red breast, and the titmouse has ...?
The bullfinch flew up to the forest, and the sparrow - ...?
The bullfinch is sitting on the top branch, and the sparrow is on ...?

Speech exercise "Call me affectionately"

This exercise is aimed at developing a language sense, which allows the child to experiment with the word and come up with new variants of it.

You can play this game in the "magic version". You give the child a “magic wand”, and the baby turns the big one into a small one (a magic wand is an ordinary but beautiful pen or pencil; to get a magic wand, you can wrap the pencil with foil or decorative paper). A wave of the "magic wand" - and a small bird will turn out of a bird, and a small tail will turn out of a large tail. Here are some sample words for a game on the topic "Wintering Birds"

bird - bird
Feather- ... (feather)
Wing - ... (wing)
Tail - ... (tail)
Beak - ... (beak)
Tit - ... (titmouse)
Chick - ... (chick)
Sparrow - ... (sparrow)
Crow - ... (funnel)
Dove - ... (dove)

We play hide and seek.

The game "Whose? Whose? Whose?"on the topic "Wintering Birds"

Tell your baby: “You already know many wintering birds. They decided to play hide and seek with you. Guess who hid behind a branch from you? (speech grammar game "Whose? Whose? Whose?" - we learn to use possessive adjectives - pigeon, sparrow, magpie, raven, titmouse, bullfinch, etc.). It is not necessary to use ready-made images. You can hide the pictures behind your palm, showing the baby only part of the image - for example, the tail of a bird or only the breast of a bird. And the child learns from this detail what kind of wintering or nomadic bird it is.

Here are my pictures-riddles for kids. All these pictures are good quality and permission is in the presentation at the end of the article. The presentation can be downloaded for free.

Riddles riddles:

Tail, beak and breast bullfinch. Bullfinch tail, bullfinch beak, bullfinch breast. Ask the kid how he guessed that this was the beak of a bullfinch, because other birds have a very similar beak? (for red chest)
This passerines feathers and tail are also sparrow. The sparrow is easily recognizable by its gray and brown plumage.
head and beak pigeon. The dove is easily recognizable by its bluish feathers.

Game task on the topic “Wintering Birds” - “Spread out the stamps” (for children 5-7 years old)

In this game, the kid will learn to classify pictures and distinguish three subgroups in a group of birds: wintering birds, nomadic birds and migratory birds.

Tell the child a story. Explain what a stamp is and why it is needed, why a letter will not reach the addressee without a stamp. And then tell the story about the boy Vanya.

Vanya decided to collect stamps depicting various animals, insects and birds. Here are the brands.

Ask the child: "Help Vanya arrange the stamps in his album." Vanya figured it out. On one page of the album there will be migratory birds. On the other - wintering (those that live next to us both in summer and winter). On the third - nomads (our winter guests). But he is confused about which birds winter where. Can you help him figure it out?"

Look, here's Vanya's stamp album. This is a palm tree page. What bird stamps do you think will be on this page? That's right, there will be stamps with migratory birds that fly south and spend the winter there.
And here is the second page. It depicts rain and snow, summer and winter. So what kind of birds will be on it? (wintering birds that live next to us both in summer and winter).
And here is the icicle. This is our resort "Icicle" from a fairy tale. Here will be our winter guests - nomadic birds.

Look at Vanya's stamps. What stamps would you put on the palm tree page? What are these birds called? (These are migratory birds - swallows, storks)

And what nomadic birds are there on Vanya's stamps? (bullfinch, waxwing) On which page of the album should Vanya place these stamps?

What birds live with us both in summer and winter? (sparrow, crow). On which page of the album will we put these stamps?

You can use other options for this game:

1.Print pictures with the image of stamps and the image of the album on the printer. Then you get a sheet with a task in which the child draws lines from the bird to the desired page of the album with stamps.

2. Give the child pictures of birds and ask them to divide them into three groups.

3. If the exercise is carried out with a group of children, then you can give each child a picture of a bird in their hands. Draw three circles on the floor with chalk. In one circle put a picture with a palm tree, in the second - pictures of summer and winter, in the third picture with icicles - a sign of nomadic birds that have flown to our resort "Icicle".

Children depict birds. At the signal "day" the birds begin to fly. At the signal "Go home!" children look for their flock and run to the right circle. Migratory birds run in a circle depicting a palm tree, nomadic birds run in a circle depicting a flying bird, and so on. You need to have time to find your home and your flock of birds before the signal: "Night!". Then the birds fall asleep - each flock in its own house. At the signal “Day”, the birds begin to fly again, peck grains, and flap their wings. Then the signal “Go home!” sounds again. and the birds fly to their flocks.

You can introduce an additional character into the game - a cat or an owl, which will catch birds at night. The rule is that you can catch only those birds that did not have time to hide in their house. If the bird is caught, then it becomes a cat (or an owl) in the next game.

4. You can introduce a deliberate mistake into the game - for example, give the child a picture of a squirrel along with pictures of birds. When the baby begins to lay out the pictures into three groups, ask where he will put the picture with the squirrel, because she also does not live in trees? This is a problematic situation for a child, because indeed, a squirrel lives on a tree! What to do with this picture?

But does a squirrel look like a bird? Does she breed chicks? Does it have wings? How does it differ from birds? Can it be attributed to one of these three groups of birds? Not!

In such problematic tasks, the kid learns to distinguish the main thing from the secondary, and this is very important for him. intellectual development! And he also learns to defend his opinion and not succumb to provocations!

If you want to believe, you want to check.

The list of such birds is huge, but you need to clearly know which are migratory birds, which can be called conditionally migratory, and which are always settled.

Migratory birds:

lapwing;
song thrush;
robin;
lark;
flycatcher;
finch;
dawn;
garden warbler;
kingfisher;
redstart;
hoopoe;
bittern;
wagtail;
oriole;
black-headed warbler;
Swan;
goose;
duck;
rook;
crane;
capercaillie;
grouse;
pika;
crossbill.

Pictures with names for children, which depict birds flying south in winter, most often represent cranes. But a huge number of birds leave their habitat, except for these birds, and they do not do it right away, but each species at a certain time.

Some migratory birds: pictures with names and an indication of the order of flight to the south

Birds, whose food is only insects, leave the place of residence first. This is logical, because it is insects that begin to hide or die with the onset of cold weather.

Migratory bird wagtail, photo

Behind them, those birds rush to the southern regions, whose food is flowers, seeds, fruits. They do this somewhat later than insectivores, and this is understandable: fruits and seeds are available for food for a very long time, until it becomes completely cold and there is a solid snow cover on the ground.

At the same time, birds fly away, which have a mixed diet in summer, and only plant food in autumn.

For example, this is a siskin - aphids and other small insects are gone in autumn, and it completely switches to seeds.
Migratory bird siskin, photo

And the last ones to escape from the cold are birds living on water bodies, when the surface of rivers and lakes is covered with ice. Among waterfowl, by the way, there is a tendency towards conditional migration: if the winter is warm and the water does not freeze, they do not fly anywhere.
Waterfowl migratory birds: pictures

Among birds that feed on plant or "live" food on land, conditional migration can also be observed. For example, these are jays and waxwings: the further south they live, the less often they leave their habitat in winter.

Famous migratory birds: pictures, names, main wintering grounds

common cuckoo. From Central Asia and Siberia, these birds rush to the southern part of the Sahara in Africa. from England and northern Europe common cuckoos fly to southern Africa, even reaching South Africa.
Starlings Russian, Ukrainian and Scandinavian planes are flying to the south of Europe. Sometimes they cause great inconvenience to residents of southern European countries in winter. For example, in Italy in winter months they are so noisy that they block the rumble of traffic in cities.
If speak about cranes, then the area of their flight is very wide. The Caucasus, the Nile Valley, the north and west of India, Iraq - these are far from all the wintering places for cranes.
Nightingales almost everyone flies to Africa for the winter, mostly to the west, but they try to stay in countries south of the equator.
Swan- the largest feathered living on the water, and the largest migratory bird. Russian swans for the winter fly to the Mediterranean and Caspian Seas, to the south of the Asian coasts.
Swallow and, all their varieties are migratory. From the West, they fly to sub-Saharan Africa for the winter, while those from the East fly to China and areas adjacent to the Himalayas.
Rooks, inhabiting almost all of Eurasia from Scandinavia to the Pacific coast, fly relatively close in winter. Russian rooks rush to Turkey, from Europe - to Italy and France, Volga - mainly to Kazakhstan.

Deepen understanding of the reasons for departure birds(disappearance of the main food, freezing of water bodies, land);

classify birds on wintering and migratory on the basis of establishing a connection between the nature of the food and the possibility of obtaining it;

Enrich vocabulary;

Develop speech and logical thinking

Cultivate a good attitude towards all living things in nature.

Demo Material: picture pictures birds, bird nests.

Methodological techniques: game situation, conversation-dialogue, viewing pictures with an image birds and talking about them, reading and analysis of fairy tales, summing up.

Conversation flow:

caregiver:

Guys! Do you know that everyone birds who live in our area, can be divided into two groups: wintering and migratory birds?

wintering birds: sparrow, crow, magpie, jackdaw, titmouse, woodpecker, owl, nuthatch, jay. They do not fly away to warm countries in autumn, as they have adapted to the harsh season and can find food even in severe frost.

Birds are hard to feed, because they have a huge appetite, and there is not enough food, especially in winter. Therefore, many birds do it: having found food, they immediately inform the others about it - they call them with a cry. Helping each other birds live until spring. In addition, some of birds, such as titmouse, jay and nuthatch, stock up in the fall. Here is how the writer A.A. describes it. Pleshakov: "... stores a nuthatch for winter food! And acorns, and nuts, and maple lionfish - everything is stuffed into cracks, niches and crevices on the trunks. He works hard all autumn, until December. In some of its pantries, scientists found up to two kilograms of seeds.

Guys, do you know which birds Are there chicks in winter?

Well, of course, this is a cross! Look at the picture of this birds.

This extraordinary bird is not only winters in our forests, but even in the most severe frosts it breeds chicks. Crossbills feed on the seeds of coniferous trees and also feed their chicks with these seeds. If the harvest of cones is good, they have enough food in the winter forest.

BUT migratory birds with the onset of autumn colds, they gather in flocks and prepare to fly south. As a rule, these birds eat insects, which, with the advent of cold weather, climb into the cracks of the tree bark, burrow into dry leaves, hide under old rotten snags. Feed becomes scarce, and insectivores birds fly away to warmer climes, and in the spring they return to their native lands. Small birds fly in unnoticed. But the big ones, although they often fly at night, make loud noises. This is the leader t signal: keep up. Fly for me. males migratory birds arrive from the south before females. And immediately begin to take care of housing for the future family.

Guys, what migratory birds you know?

That's right, starlings, geese, nightingales, cuckoos, as well as wagtails, swallows, finches, warblers, larks, swans. All this migratory birds.

In the spring forests, a sonorous, cheerful chorus of bird voices is heard. Birds they carry twigs, dry blades of grass, pieces of moss in their beaks, build nests, cover them with down and feathers.

And now the eggs appear in the bird houses. Birds hatch them, warming with its warmth, and then helpless fledglings hatch from the eggs.

Voracious chicks open their bright yellow mouths wide, waiting for caring parents to treat them to midges, mosquitoes or caterpillars. Caring parents fly through forests and meadows, getting food for their children, thereby destroying many harmful insects. So they save the forest and crops in the fields, gardens, parks, squares.

The chicks are growing fast. And soon, in secluded forest corners, birds open up. "schools". They have adults birds will teach their children to look for food, to escape from enemies, to give different signals.

And if on these beautiful days you came to the forest, then try not to run and not make noise. Imagine that you are in a house where very small children sleep in cradles. Do not look into bird nests, do not touch the eggs and chicks with your hands. You can scare adults birds, then they will leave their house, and no chicks will appear in the nest.

Now listen to the poem.

I found a forest nest

little colorful bird,

Twisted in early spring

The eggs were in the nest.

How scared she was

The bird pretended to be sick,

Wing dragged, rushed about

In the thick grass in front of me.

Was given directly into my hands

She took me away from the nest.

And how much flour was in it,

And how much power she had!

Here's another rule to remember! In spring and early summer, it is better not to take your dog for a walk in the forest or park. Chicks sometimes fall out of the nest, and the dog can damage the baby's wings or paws.

caregiver:

And now guys, let's have a rest, we will have a physical education minute. "Bear".

The bear got out of the den,

Looked at the threshold (turns left and right)

He stretched from sleep: (pulling arms up)

Spring has come to us again!

To quickly gain strength

The bear turned its head (head rotation)

leaned back, forward(tilts back and forth)

Here he is walking through the forest (walking waddling)

The bear is looking for roots, (tilts forward)

And rotten stumps. (tilts in different directions)

They contain edible larvae -

For a bear - vitamins.

Finally the bear has eaten (pat yourself on the stomach)

And sat on a log (sit down)

After the end of the physical education session, the children sit down.

Have a rest? Now let's talk about bird nests. What different nests are built birds!

So a woodpecker hollows out a deep hollow in a tree with a large strong beak, wagtails make nests from twigs and blades of grass in the bushes, not far from a river or stream. The magpie nest is large and comfortable. Swallows build their nests out of clay. Starlings live in wooden birdhouses, which are made by people. Cranes and ducks build their nests on the ground, in reeds. And the cuckoo does not build a nest at all, but lays its eggs in the nests of others birds.

Birds are our friends! They not only decorate nature, but also help to save crops in the fields and gardens, save forests from pests, and spread plant seeds. Friends need to be protected. Guys, help birds survive the winter. Arrange feeders for them, pour pumpkin, watermelon, sunflower seeds into them, hang pieces of unsalted lard on tree branches. Remember you are hungry bird can die from a light frost. A well-fed and cold is not terrible!
