National Geographic Kids Books Giveaway: Birds #NationalLibraryDay – Luv Saving Money

National Geographic Kids Books Giveaway: Birds #NationalLibraryDay

Please Share

Several years ago, we took the family to the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA. We created wonderful memories that my family still talks about today. My husband loved the SOAR! program they had at that time. It was on the rooftop and featured birds of prey.

My kids and I loved the opportunity to feed the Lorakeets. It’s such an immersive experience being able to walk through the habitats and get up close to some of the beautiful birds.

This trip created a new appreciation for our bird feeder we have outside. The kids and I love seeing new birds coming to the feeder. We’ll try to figure out what they are and if they’re male or female.

We have some of the same bird types come back to our feeder each year. It also seems we get one or two new ones. We’ve had both the male and female cardinal at our feeder, chickadees, woodpeckers, Tufted titmouse, American Goldfinch, and a few others.

We get a great view out our front kitchen window of the birds at the feeder.

Fun fact, did you know that April 16 is National Library Day? For National Library Day, my kids and I were excited to review a National Geographic Kids Books bundle that’s all about birds.

  1. Oh, I love all kinds of birds! They are such fascinating creatures! We have chickens and parakeets and I’m trying to get some purple martins to move into the house I have in my garden since they eat bugs. I love the hummingbirds that come to my feeders, but if I had to choose I think Cardinals would be my favorite. They remind me of my dad.
