Now Showing: "Wild Hope: Building for Birds" 🎬
| Join us Saturday, March 28th at 11:00 a.m. for a screening of "Wild Hope: Building for Birds," a 16-minute documentary about the effect of building glass on bird populations and innovative solutions to this problem.
Afterwards, we will do some fun and easy hands-on activities to help keep our feathered friends safe: - put birds in order based on wing span, speed, and distance they can migrate
- make window decals with soap and glue to discourage birds from hitting windows; can be decorated later!
These activities are great for kids! Door prizes include window collision tape and a Sibley Backyard Birds matching game! |
