Tweet-Pea

Yes, you read the title correctly...I said 'Tweet-Pea'. Today Sweet-Pea made her own bird feeder out of simple supplies we had around the house. She is having so much fun with the Apologia Zoology books this year (and so am I!!)

She took a clean 2 liter soda bottle, put small 1/4" holes in the sides and then slid a wooden dowel through them to make a perch.



Above those holes we put another small hole for the birds to feed from. She filled it up to the top with wild bird seed and then hung it on our Pear Tree which the birds LOVE!







She's already had several 'customers'...black capped chickadees, blue jays, doves and a few others that were too quick and couldn't be identified. Here are a few...

Your daughter did a wonderful job! We did Zoo 1 last year and had a great time. We are doing Zoo 2-Swimming Creatures this year and love it even more!
