20 Free and Exciting Bird Watching Activities Your Kids Will Love!

Calling all bird nerds! Here is a huge list of bird watching activities for kids. A great way to get your kids to appreciate and conserve nature is to engage them in bird watching, have them build a bird feeder or other fun activities.

We have been bird watchers for as long as I can remember. We have several feeders in our yard and keep them full year-round. We take day trips to local areas such as Hawk Mountain and the Conowingo Dam to see the eagles when they are migrating.

As young as 4, my younger son was able to identify a few species. So I thought, “Hey, why not? It’s time to find him some other activities to do to foster this interest!” He now has his own binoculars and almost every day he’ll watch the feeders for a few minutes (he’s 8 now) and tell me who is there having a snack.
