Tailor Bird Nests
The tailor bird is found in China. The male Tailor Bird builds his nest in a special way. He uses his beak and feet to sew the edges of a leaf together. We used paper beaks to try and sew our tailor bird nests with yarn.
Bird Nests
We built our own bird nests using a brown lunch bag. We added burlap twine, pine cones, and twigs.
Beaver Lodge
Did you know that Beavers have orange teeth? This protective coating allows a beaver to chew through wood. A beaver home is called a lodge. A lodge is strong enough to keep predators out, and warm enough to protect the family all winter long. Beavers do not actually hibernate. They store food under their lodge, and exit through an underwater passageway. Beavers construct their lodges out of wood and sticks. They use mud to create a waterproof seal.
Do you know what baby beavers are called? Answer: Kits.
We built our own beaver lodge, out of pretzel rods and sticks, sunflower seed butter. Our lodge may have not been waterproof, but it was edible! After the construction was done, we tore the lodge apart, and ate the beaver family (pita chips) inside.
