Bird Honor Requirements
Wikibooks Bird Honor Answers

Picture
Kids are naturally curious and love to learn.  Birds hold a special fascination -- they can FLY!Sometimes when we are teaching the Bird honor we rush through with just pictures used for identifying the birds.  We forget that by introducing the Pathfinders to bird-watching you could be introducing them to a life-time hobby.  Spring and Fall are great times to look for birds since the birds are migrating to their summer or winter grounds.

Bird Feeding Stations

One of the requirements for the Friend Investiture Achievement nature study is to set up a feeding station for the birds or mammals and report on the types of visitors you observe for one week.  Here are some ideas for easy bird feeders.

Bird Pudding
Materials: Once pound lard (or leftover cooking fat), one cup hot water, two cups oatmeal, once cup flours, four cups wild birdseed, large pan, mixing spoons.
Procedure: Soften the lard or fat over warm heat in the large pan.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Bird pudding can be slathered into any kind of container-type feeder.
