Greetings from a preschool classroom! Can you help us?
I’m a preschool teacher in a nature based school and we’re currently studying birds and having so much fun!
One of our interest areas is nests. I’d like to conduct a simple experiment in which we put out multiple nesting materials and see which one is the most popular. I’m having a tough time coming up with the best (and safest for birds) ideas. I have 4 suet containers I’d like to fill so if we get 4 options that would be amazing.
Here are my ideas so far, would you please correct any bad ideas and share suggestions if you have them?
- Very thin and small sticks/twigs
- Dog fur from a dog without any chemicals such as flea drops
- Small pieces of yarn in natural fibers only such as wool.
4.?
I’m in New England USA if that helps and thanks in advance.
