impassable, dense, low,

Inspiration flew into the birds,
In the burning light of dawn...
Don't scare away their beautiful singing
And freeze your heart and soul!
Birds are dear to us as part of the wonderful nature of our Motherland. Their melodic, cheerful, ringing songs, bright plumage enliven nature, instill vigor and joy in us. Without birds, nature is dead. We have proven our love for birds by making bird feeders to help birds survive the winter. And in the summer they will thank us for our care. After all, birds, protecting our forests, fields, gardens and kitchen gardens from harmful insects, mice, which eat about a quarter of the crop, gnaw fruit trees in the garden, help preserve the fruits of human labor.
Today guys we are going to talk about birds and find out how much you know about them. And I will tell you a lot of interesting things about birds during our holiday.
We have two teams:
1- BIRD LOVERS
2- BIRD FRIENDS
I present to you the JURY:

- Do you know why starlings, jackdaws sit on the back of cows, sheep, horses?/They drag wool for the nest and peck out insects and larvae from the skin of old animals./
- Do you know, chicks, which bird does not know its mother?/ Cuckoo chicks do not know their mother. The cuckoo throws its eggs into other people's nests./

2 TEAM
A ruffled sparrow appears
SPARROW:
Oh save! Guard!
Who threw a snowball at me?
These bad boys
Sparrows interfere with life.
Now with snowballs, then with a slingshot!
But we are not so sweet!
titmouse:
Brrr! What a crackling frost!
Where would be the best place to hide?
Freezing in flight!
Maybe I can warm up here.
Notices a sparrow
Chick-chirikin! What happened to you?
You are so pissed off!
Maybe someone offended you?
Or did you see a cat?
SPARROW:
Oh neighbor! Quiet! Quiet!
You see three boys there
Heartless, evil and rude?
They are good in warm coats,
In hats, in fur jackets!
Barely escaped from them!
titmouse:
I, neighbor, agree with you!
Bird life in winter is terrible!
Frost, snowstorms are against us,
And yes, hooligans!
Cats are stalking us
And in the mouth in the morning not crumbs!
There are no worms and midges,
What would lunch be without them?
Oh, how difficult it is to live in the world!
What should we do? Who will answer?
CROW:
Well, frost! Well frost!
Nose out - oh-oh-oh!
Even white birches
In a gray icy crust.
And a hungry tit
Quietly crying at the window:
"Nowhere to bask and feed,
No boogers, no grain.
Day smokes frosty distance
The nights are snowy and dark
I'm freezing, I'm starving, I won't live until spring!
CHILD:
Feed the birds in winter.
Let from all over

Stakes on the porch.

CHILD / from a group not participating in KVN/:
The singers are back
The singers are back
Our old tenants.
From invisible rays
A stream ran down from the mountain
And a small snowdrop
Grew up on a thaw
Starlings return -
Our old tenants.
Sparrows at the puddle
They circle in a noisy flock.
Both the robin and the thrush
Engaged in the construction of nests.
Wear, wear in houses
Birds at straws.
G. Ladonshchikov
UKRAINIAN FOLK SONG: "BIRD"
/performed by children not participating in KVN/
- Bird above my window
Nest for babies viet, -
That straw drags in the legs,
That fluff in the nose carries.
- The bird wants to make a house:
The sun will rise, set -
She's busy all day
But he sings all day long.
- The cold night will come
Fog will rise from the river

The song will start loudly;
Cheerful, full, healthy
And sings to himself, sings.

HOST:
Composers compose songs about birds, poets write poems, and writers write stories. Listen to a short story...
Song of the Starling
The air warmed up a little, and the starlings had already perched on high branches and began their concert. I don't really know if the starling has his own motives, but you will hear enough of anything alien in his song. Here are bits of nightingale trills, and the sharp meow of the oriole, and the sweet voice of the robin, and the musical babble of the warbler, and the thin whistle of the titmouse, and among these melodies suddenly such voices are heard that, sitting alone, you cannot help yourself and laugh: a chicken will cackle on a tree , the grinder's knife will hiss, the door will creak, the children's military trumpet will turn down. And, having made this unexpected musical digression, the starling, as if nothing had happened, without a break, continues his cheerful, sweet humorous song.

HOST:
You all know that there are birds that stay with us for the winter, and we helped them with this, made feeders for them. Let's list the wintering birds.
Children's answers.
HOST:
Well done, these are sparrows, tits, crows, jackdaws, bullfinches ...
Birds are cold and hungry in winter, many stay near human habitation, where they can feed themselves. These are sparrows, tits, crows, jackdaws, sometimes bullfinches. It is difficult for birds to get food. What can a person do for this?(Feed the birds, hang the feeders.)
Cases have been observed that with regular feeding, even migratory birds are delayed. Why do you think?(For birds, hunger is worse than cold.)
What is the main thing in the feeder?(Feed.)
Correctly it is necessary that there was food in the feeder. And how the feeder is arranged is a secondary matter. It is necessary that the food be sheltered from rain and snow, and the feeder is arranged and located so that the birds are not afraid of it. If in some place the birds constantly find food in the winter, then in the summer they will fly here.

While our JURY will sum up the results of your competitions, and we will play:
1 TEAM:
MUSICAL GAME: "BIRD WITHOUT A NEST"
RULES OF THE GAME:
The players are arranged in a circle in pairs at the back of the head to each other (facing the center). The players of the inner circle - nests - put their hands on their belts, and the players of the outer circle - birds - put their hands on the shoulders of those in front. In the center - the driver - a bird without a nest. With the beginning of the music, all the birds run one by one after the leader, imitating the flapping of wings with their hands. The driver moves in any direction. When the music stops, everyone stops. At the command of the driver “Birds to the Nests”, the birds run to the nests (together with the driver) and occupy any of them. The player left without a nest becomes the driver. The players switch roles and the game starts over.
2 TEAM:
MUSICAL GAME: "OWL"
RULES OF THE GAME:
The driver is chosen - an owl. Her nest is off to the side. At the signal of the teacher: “The day is coming - everything comes to life” - children walk, run, jump (imitate animals, insects). At the signal: "Night is coming - everything freezes," the players freeze. The owl goes out to hunt and leads those who have moved to its nest. The game is played to the music: "day ..." - the music sounds loud, "night ..." - the music sounds quiet.
THE GAMES USE BIRD COUNTERS:
- Among the white doves
A nimble sparrow jumps,
Sparrow - a bird,

Wonderful pictures with migratory and wintering birds. Which birds stay wintering in their homeland, and which ones fly away?
Walking in a park or forest, we listen to the birds singing and often just don’t think about which bird trills so nicely. There are birds that live in our area all year round, but there are also those that fly to "warm lands" in the fall.
The fact is that in winter it is very difficult for birds to find food for themselves, because insects, berries and grains become scarce, and when snow falls, they are almost impossible to find at all. And different types of birds solve this problem in different ways: migratory birds fly hundreds and even thousands of kilometers to warmer countries, and sedentary ones adapt to our harsh winters.
Titmouse in the snow, which, apparently, wants to feast on seeds Settled, wintering birds: list, photo with names
Feeders are hung up to help the birds that have stayed over the winter find food. And it is quite possible that they will be of interest to such visitors:
- Sparrow. Noisy sparrows that fly in flocks may well become the first visitors to the feeder.
- Tit. Tits are in many ways not inferior to sparrows, they quickly rush to feed in the feeders. But compared to sparrows, tits are endowed with a more meek disposition. It is interesting that in summer the titmouse eats almost as much food as it weighs itself. Often in the feeders you can observe mixed flocks, consisting of both sparrows and titmouse.
- gaichka. A close relative of the titmouse. However, the breast of the nut is not yellow, but light brown. Also, the tit differs from other tits in that it makes a hollow in a tree to make a nest in it.
Gaitka - a special type of tits - Crow. Ravens are often confused with rooks. It is known that crows are very rare in the western part of Russia. Therefore, if you live in the European part of Russia and see a black bird making a shrill croak, then most likely you have a rook in front of you.
- Pigeon. The distribution and lifestyle of pigeons was largely influenced by people who simply brought them with them to different parts of the Earth. Now pigeons are found on all continents with the exception of Antarctica. Pigeons easily change the rocks that are their natural habitat for man-made structures.
The nodding gait of pigeons is due to the fact that it is easier for them to see the object of interest to them. - Woodpecker. In the warm season, woodpeckers feed mainly on insects, which they get from under the bark of trees, and in the winter cold, they can also eat plant foods: seeds and nuts.
- Magpie. Magpie is considered a bird with high intelligence, it is able to express a lot of emotions, including sadness and knows how to recognize its reflection in the mirror. Interestingly, not only its brethren, but also other birds, as well as wild animals, in particular bears and wolves, react to the alarming cry of a magpie.
Magpie - winter bird - Owl. Owls are different, large and small, in total there are more than 200 species. These birds are endowed with sharp eyesight and excellent hearing, which allows them to lead a nocturnal lifestyle. Interestingly, the tassels on the owl's head are not ears, real owl ears are hidden in feathers, and one of them is directed upwards, and the other downwards, in order to better hear what is happening above the head and on the ground.
Owl - nocturnal bird - This bird is also considered an owl and is a close relative of other owls.
- A rare owl that lives mainly in mountainous areas in northern latitudes. The name of the bird according to different versions means "inedible" or "insatiable".
- Jackdaw. Outwardly, jackdaws look like rooks and crows, moreover, there are mixed flocks in which you can see all three types of birds. However, the jackdaw is smaller than the crow. And if you are lucky enough to watch a jackdaw up close, you can easily recognize it by the gray color of some of the feathers.
- Nuthatch. This little bird climbs tree trunks very dexterously. In summer, nuthatches hide seeds and nuts in the bark, and in winter they feed on these supplies.
- Crossbill. Like the nuthatch, this bird is an excellent tree climber and can hang upside down on branches. Crossbill's favorite food is seeds from spruce and pine cones. This bird is remarkable in that it can breed chicks even in winter, but only if there is enough food.
- Bullfinch. Only males have bright red plumage on the chest, females look much more modest. Bullfinches are more often seen in winter, because due to lack of food, they are drawn to people. In summer, bullfinches prefer wooded areas and behave inconspicuously, so it is not easy to see them.
- waxwing. A bird with beautiful plumage and a singing voice. In summer it feeds mainly on insects and likes to settle in coniferous forests. In winter, the waxwing moves to the more southern regions of the country; it is often found in cities. In the cold season, mountain ash and other fruits become the main food for birds.
- Jay. A large bird, which, however, can fly to feast on a feeder hung by people. In summer, it is rarely seen in the city, but closer to winter, the bird begins to reach for human habitation.
- Wren. One of the smallest birds, the weight of an adult male is only 5-7 grams. Kings are relatives of sparrows.
Wren - an inhabitant of the forests - . A large bird that is a favorite trophy for many hunters. Pheasants can fly, but more often they move on foot.
- Grouse. It is also an object of hunting, despite the fact that this bird is quite small. The weight of an adult hazel grouse rarely reaches 500 g. It is interesting that the largest population of these birds lives in Russia.
The hazel grouse is a bird that is related to the black grouse - Another bird that is related to hunting. Grouse are found on the edge of the forest and in the forest-steppe.
- Falcon. It is considered one of the smartest birds on the planet and one of the best hunters. The falcon is able to work in tandem with a man, but it is very difficult to tame him.
- . Like the falcon, it is a bird of prey. A hawk's vision is 8 times sharper than a human's. And rushing for prey, the hawk can reach speeds of up to 240 km / h.
Migratory, nomadic birds: list, photo with names
- Rooks differ from crows in a gray-yellow beak. In the Kuban and Ukraine, you can see how in the fall the rooks gather in huge flocks, so large that the sky seems black from the birds soaring in it - these are rooks that fly south. However, rooks are only conditionally migratory birds, some of them remain to winter in central Russia, some winter in Ukraine, and only some birds fly for the winter to the warm shores of Turkey.
- they love to fly to freshly dug up land, sometimes they fly right behind a plowing tractor in order to have time to get as many worms and larvae as possible from the dug up land.
- This inconspicuous bird with a singing voice loves warmth, and therefore flies south in autumn. And for wintering, our native nightingales have chosen hot Africa. These birds fly to winter in the eastern part of the continent - Kenya and Ethiopia. However, local residents cannot enjoy their singing, because nightingales sing only during the mating season, which takes place in their homeland.
- Martin. Swallows love rocky terrain, they often settle on the sheer walls of quarries that people have dug out. However, our winters are too severe for swallows, and therefore in autumn they fly to the southern, farthest from us, part of Africa or to Tropical Asia.
- Chizh. Like the rook, it is a migratory bird that arrives early and winters nearby: in the Caucasus, Kazakhstan and southern Europe. Outwardly, siskins are inconspicuous, their gray-green feathers are absolutely not striking against the background of branches. The nature of the bird matches the appearance: quiet and meek.
- Goldfinch. In Europe, it is a wintering bird, however, in Russia, goldfinches can only be seen in summer. By winter, goldfinches gather in flocks and go to lands with a warmer climate. Goldfinches are close relatives of siskins.
Goldfinch is one of the most colorful birds - A slender bird that runs fast on the ground and shakes its tail with every step. Wagtails spend the winter in eastern Africa, southern Asia, and sometimes southern Europe.
- Quail. The only bird from the order Galliformes, which is migratory. The weight of an adult quail is not so great and is 80-150 g. In summer, quails can be found in fields sown with wheat and rye. Quail winters far beyond the borders of our Motherland: in southern Africa and southern Asia, on the Hindustan peninsula.
- Thrush. The song thrush with its sweet trills creates worthy competition with the nightingale. And his appearance, like that of a nightingale, is inconspicuous. In winter, thrushes become Europeans: Italy, France and Spain are their second home.
- lark. Larks return from warm countries very early, sometimes already in March you can hear their sonorous song, which becomes a harbinger of spring warmth. And larks winter in Southern Europe.
- Gull. With the onset of cold weather, gulls living on the coasts of the northern seas migrate to the Black and Caspian Seas. But over the years, seagulls are more and more drawn to people, and more and more often they stay to spend the winter in cities.
- . Swifts winter in Africa, and reach its equatorial part or even go to the southern part of the mainland.
- Starlings are in great need of birdhouses, since most often they breed offspring in them. And our starlings go to winter in Southern Europe and East Africa.
This bizarre black cloud is a flock of starlings returning home - Finch. Finches from the western part of the country winter mainly in Central Europe and the Mediterranean, and finches that live near the Urals in summer go to South Kazakhstan and southern regions of Asia for wintering.
Finch - a noisy inhabitant of the forest - Heron. It is rather difficult to determine where the herons winter, some of them travel huge distances to South Africa, some winter in the Crimea or the Kuban, and in the Stavropol Territory, herons sometimes even stay for the winter.
- Crane. These birds are monogamous, and once having chosen a partner, they remain faithful to him all their lives. Cranes nest in swampy areas. And their wintering places are as diverse as those of herons: Southern Europe, Africa and even China - in all these parts of the world you can meet cranes that have flown from Russia to spend the winter.
- Stork. In Russia there are black and white storks. White storks make huge nests up to one and a half meters wide and make very long flights to the south. Sometimes they overcome half the planet and reach South Africa, a country located in the very south of Africa.
- Swan. The swan is a bird that represents devotion and romance. Swans are waterfowl, so for wintering they choose places near the water, often the Caspian or Mediterranean Sea.
- Duck. Wild ducks in winter, as a rule, do not fly far and remain in the expanses of the post-Soviet states. It is noteworthy that their domestic relatives also begin to worry in the fall and sometimes try to fly away, sometimes they even fly over fences and fly short distances.
- . Cuckoos settle in forests, and in the forest-steppe, and in the steppe. The vast majority of cuckoos fly to winter in tropical and South Africa, less often cuckoos winter in South Asia: in India and China.
- . A small bird with a singing voice and bright plumage that flies to the tropics for the winter.
- . They wake up at dawn and are among the first to start the morning song. Previously, this little songbird was called a robin. Robins fly to winter in Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, returning home among the first.
What is the difference between migratory birds and wintering birds: presentation for preschoolers
slide 2 
Slide 3: presentation of migratory birds 
Why do migratory birds fly to warmer climes where they spend the winter, why do they come back?
Winter is a severe test for birds. And only those who, in harsh conditions, can get food for themselves remain to winter.
What could be the ways for birds to survive in the cold season?
- Some birds store food in the summer for the winter. They hide plant seeds, nuts, acorns, caterpillars and larvae in grass and cracks in tree bark. These birds include the nuthatch.
- Some birds are not afraid of people and live near residential buildings. In winter, they find food in feeders and on garbage heaps.
- Some birds are predators and feed on rodents. There are birds of prey that can feed on hares, hunt fish, small birds and bats.
If a bird can find food for itself in winter, then it does not need to go on a tiring and difficult flight to warmer climes in the fall.
It would seem that everything is simple, and the only reason for the seasonal migration of birds is the lack of food. But in reality there are more questions than answers. For example, imagine that a wild duck, which is a migratory bird, is provided with an artificially heated pond and sufficient food. Will she stay for the winter? Of course not. She will be called on a long journey, a strong feeling that is difficult to explain, called a natural instinct.
It turns out that birds fly away to warmer climes, as if out of habit, because their ancestors did this for hundreds and thousands of years.
Another question to be answered: why do birds return from warm countries every spring? Ornithologists have concluded that the start of the return flight is associated with the activation of sex hormones and the start of the breeding season. But why do birds fly thousands of kilometers and breed chicks exactly where they themselves were born? Poets and romantic natures say that birds, like people, are simply drawn to their homeland.
How do migratory birds know where to fly? A question to which, to this day, there is no intelligible answer. It has been experimentally proven that birds can navigate in a completely unfamiliar area and in conditions of limited visibility, when neither the sun nor the stars are visible. They have an organ that allows them to navigate the Earth's magnetic field.
But the mystery remains how juveniles, who have never flown to warmer climes before, find their wintering grounds themselves, and how do they know the route to fly? It turns out in birds, at the genetic level, information is recorded about the point on the map where you need to fly, and moreover, a route is drawn to it.
Do migratory birds nest in the south?
Birds wintering in warm regions do not lay eggs and do not incubate chicks, which means they do not need a nest. A nest is needed only for chicks, which migratory birds will incubate in their homeland.
Which birds are the first and last to arrive in spring?
They arrive first in the spring rooks. These birds return to their homeland in early spring, when the first thawed patches appear in the snow. With their strong beak, rooks dig larvae on such thawed patches, which form the basis of their diet.
The last to arrive are birds that feed on flying insects. These are swallows, swifts, orioles. The diet of these birds consists of:
- Komarov
- Moshek
- gadflies
- Zhukov
- cicada
- butterflies
Since the appearance of a large number of adult flying insects from larvae requires warm weather and about two weeks of time, the birds that feed on them arrive home after the mass appearance of these insects.
Which birds are the first and last to fly away in autumn?
With the onset of autumn cold weather, insects complete their active life cycle and hibernate. Therefore, the birds that feed on insects are the first to fly to warm lands. Then the birds that feed on the plants fly away. Waterfowl are the last to leave. For them, even in autumn, there is enough food in the water. And they fly away before the water in the reservoirs begins to freeze.
VIDEO: Birds fly south
A flock of what migratory birds promises snow?
According to popular belief, if a flock of wild geese- expect the first snowfall. This sign may not coincide with real weather phenomena. So in the north of Russia, geese fly to warmer climes in mid-September, and snow can fall much earlier. Let's say the first snow in Norilsk fell on August 25 this year. In the south, geese fly to warmer climes at the end of October, and sometimes even at the beginning of November. The first snow in these areas may fall at this time. But it all depends on the weather conditions in autumn. Indian summer here can drag on for the whole of October.
VIDEO: Geese gather in flocks for flights to the south
Which bird in the order Galliformes is a migratory bird?
A migratory bird from the order Galliformes is quail. The quail's habitat extends beyond Russia in the west and south. In the east, these birds live up to the western coast of Lake Baikal. They are distributed in Europe, Western Asia and Africa.
They fly south for the winter. And they winter in Hindustan, North Africa and Southwest Asia.
VIDEO: How do migratory birds fly?
The most interesting thing for children is to watch live birds on a walk. Often, babies have their favorite birds among the birds, to which they give names and even claim that they can distinguish them from all other birds in the yard.
Make a feeder, pour food into it. Very soon, the birds will get used to the fact that there is always food for them here, and they will begin to fly to your feeder. Watch them with your child. The most useful and most interesting thing is to make a whole series of such observations. A series of observations will give the baby much more for his mental and speech development than just reading a story about wintering birds or watching an educational film. After all, the film is likely to be quickly forgotten without consolidating and applying the information received.
In observations of wildlife, the child will learn to compare, draw conclusions, ask questions and look for answers to them, describe, find the exact words to express their thoughts.
What can we see in such observations? What should children pay attention to?
1. How do birds differ from each other in appearance? How are they similar? (They have a head, eyes, a beak to peck seeds, wings to fly, a body, paws, a tail, a body covered with feathers)
Compare, for example, a sparrow and a crow - how do they differ and how are they similar? (The crows are big. And the sparrows are small, gray-brown, they fly in a flock, nimble, jump on two legs. The crows are gray-black, a crow flies alone. A crow walks in a waddling, important, slowly). How are sparrows and doves similar and different? (The sparrow is smaller than the dove, it is of a different color. The sparrow jumps, and the dove walks. The sparrow chirps, and the dove cooes)
2. What is the difference between the habits of different birds:
- how they peck food in the feeder (immediately sit on the feeder or be careful and first sit on the bushes, and only then fly up to the feeder),
- whether they quarrel or not, whether they give in to each other,
- how birds fly and walk
- Are they close to people?
- live alone or in flocks
- what kind of food do they like (titmouse and woodpeckers like to eat unsalted lard, lard can be hung on a thread to the feeder, bullfinches and waxwings - berries, seeds are eaten by all birds, but sparrows and oatmeal love oats and millet)
- at what time of the day they arrive at the feeder (when it is light),
- in what cases birds make sounds - they shout, call to each other, and in what cases they silently peck grains,
- what kind of beak the birds have and is it possible to guess what the bird eats by the shape of the beak (It is possible that birds that eat insects have a thin and narrow beak, and those birds that eat grain have a blunt and thicker beak)
- What footprints do birds leave in the snow? (try to draw them and learn to read "bird stories" in the footsteps - what birds flew in, who did they meet at the feeder, how many birds were at the feeder?). This task is very popular with children. They feel like real trackers.
- why, when a crow flies up, doves and sparrows fly away? (The crow is large, it has a strong beak, and small birds are afraid of it. That is why it is better to feed the crow separately so that it does not take away food from small birds)
Here are some notes for observing the habits of wintering birds with children.
sparrows- nimble, cheerful, mobile, often quarrel. They are bullies, they like to snatch her seeds from under the nose of the titmouse, they stay in a flock.
Here we are tap dance. They are noisy and talk to each other. The seeds peck. Tap dances can be different. There are brown tap dances with a gray breast, and there are with a red breast. Tap dancers are our guests. They come to us for the winter from the north.
pigeons slow, calm, not so shy, come close to a person.
Bullfinches- calm, sedate birds. And the sound of their voices is special - they whistle softly (they ring like bells). If they need to fly somewhere, then they come to life, call to each other and fly away with the whole flock. Bullfinches are very fond of eating berries, grain, ash and maple seeds. They come to us from the north - they are also our guests.
Crows, magpies, jackdaws - this is all "crow's relatives". They come to us from the forest in winter. In the forest, they always fly away from people, and in the city they are less afraid of people. In the evening they fly in flocks over the city, and then they fly to the park, sit there on the branches of trees and fall asleep until morning. Ravens are smart, do not come close to a person, cautious, waddling. Magpies are large, gray, and the head and wings are black. Her sides are white. Therefore, forty are called "variegated." Magpie jumps. She likes to eat unsalted bacon on the feeder.
titmouse have a yellow chest and a black cap on the head, white cheeks. They love to peck at lard, swinging on a rope, for which the lard is attached to the feeder.
Goldfinches come in flocks. They are very beautiful - there is a red spot on the forehead, and yellow stripes on the black wings. They are very mobile - real gymnasts! Goldfinches are fidgety, noisy, constantly screaming, quarreling, making noise, crouching, eating seeds.
During the observation, you can read poems about these birds to children. Poems about wintering birds for the youngest and older children can be found in this series of articles. It is very convenient to write or print poems on cards (the size of a quarter of an album sheet) and carry it with you for a walk in a pocket or purse. At any time, you can get a card and read the desired poem or guess a riddle.
Wintering and wandering birds in fairy tales, games, stories, riddles and tasks for kids
Very often, we, adults, do not know what kind of bird it is, we cannot tell children about it in an interesting way or answer the numerous questions of our whys. Therefore, I decided to make a kind of anthology for kids and adults on the Native Path, prepared pictures of wintering birds, coloring books, games, educational stories and fairy tales, assignments, poems and riddles on this topic. This anthology will consist of several parts. and about each wintering or wandering bird you will find a separate article with fairy tales, stories, pictures and tasks, cartoons.
I deliberately did not distribute this material by age of children. You can choose the excerpts, games, tasks that you like.
Wintering birds. Pictures for children.
Compare with the baby birds in these pictures. How are the two birds in each picture similar? What is the difference?
According to such paired pictures, it is very convenient to guess riddles-descriptions of wintering birds. And all the kids love to guess riddles and invent them! You describe the bird (without naming it) - talk about what wings, chest, head it has, how it walks, what it eats, and the baby guesses who you have guessed. Then the kid will be able to guess a riddle for you by describing the bird.
Speech game "Say the opposite"
In this speech game, the baby will learn to use words that are opposite in meaning to a given word (we are adults - we call such words antonyms).
Always rely on the experience of the child, inventing tasks for such games. Show the birds in the picture, photo or real birds on the feeder.
Sample tasks for children on the topic "Wintering Birds":
- The crow is big, but the sparrow is what? (small)
- Magpie long-tailed, and sparrow - what? (short-tailed)
- The woodpecker is long-beaked, and the sparrow is what? (short-billed)
- The crow's beak is big and thick, what about a sparrow? (small and thin)
- The bullfinch has a red breast, and the titmouse has ...?
- The bullfinch flew up to the forest, and the sparrow - ...?
- The bullfinch is sitting on the top branch, and the sparrow is on ...?
Speech exercise "Call me affectionately"
This exercise is aimed at developing a language sense, which allows the child to experiment with the word and come up with new variants of it.
You can play this game in the "magic version". You give the child a “magic wand”, and the baby turns the big one into a small one (a magic wand is an ordinary but beautiful pen or pencil; to get a magic wand, you can wrap the pencil with foil or decorative paper). A wave of the "magic wand" - and a small bird will turn out of a bird, and a small tail will turn out of a large tail. Here are some sample words for a game on the topic "Wintering Birds"
- bird - bird
- Feather- ... (feather)
- Wing - ... (wing)
- Tail - ... (tail)
- Beak - ... (beak)
- Tit - ... (titmouse)
- Chick - ... (chick)
- Sparrow - ... (sparrow)
- Crow - ... (funnel)
- Dove - ... (dove)
We play hide and seek.
The game "Whose? Whose? Whose?"on the topic "Wintering Birds"
Tell your baby: “You already know many wintering birds. They decided to play hide and seek with you. Guess who hid behind a branch from you? (speech grammar game "Whose? Whose? Whose?" - we learn to use possessive adjectives - pigeon, sparrow, magpie, raven, titmouse, bullfinch, etc.). It is not necessary to use ready-made images. You can hide the pictures behind your palm, showing the baby only part of the image - for example, the tail of a bird or only the breast of a bird. And the child learns from this detail what kind of wintering or nomadic bird it is.
Here are my pictures-riddles for kids. All these pictures in good quality and resolution are in the presentation at the end of the article. The presentation can be downloaded for free.
Riddles riddles:
- Tail, beak and breast bullfinch. Bullfinch tail, bullfinch beak, bullfinch breast. Ask the kid how he guessed that this was the beak of a bullfinch, because other birds have a very similar beak? (for red chest)
- This passerines feathers and tail are also sparrow. The sparrow is easily recognizable by its gray and brown plumage.
- head and beak pigeon. The dove is easily recognizable by its bluish feathers.
Game task on the topic “Wintering Birds” - “Spread out the stamps” (for children 5-7 years old)
In this game, the kid will learn to classify pictures and distinguish three subgroups in a group of birds: wintering birds, nomadic birds and migratory birds.
Tell the child a story. Explain what a stamp is and why it is needed, why a letter will not reach the addressee without a stamp. And then tell the story about the boy Vanya.
Vanya decided to collect stamps depicting various animals, insects and birds. Here are the brands.
Ask the child: "Help Vanya arrange the stamps in his album." Vanya figured it out. On one page of the album there will be migratory birds. On the other - wintering (those that live next to us both in summer and winter). On the third - nomads (our winter guests). But he is confused about which birds winter where. Can you help him figure it out?"
- Look, here's Vanya's stamp album. This is a palm tree page. What bird stamps do you think will be on this page? That's right, there will be stamps with migratory birds that fly south and spend the winter there.
- And here is the second page. It depicts rain and snow, summer and winter. So what kind of birds will be on it? (wintering birds that live next to us both in summer and winter).
- And here is the icicle. This is our resort "Icicle" from a fairy tale. Here will be our winter guests - nomadic birds.
Look at Vanya's stamps. What stamps would you put on the palm tree page? What are these birds called? (These are migratory birds - swallows, storks)
And what nomadic birds are there on Vanya's stamps? (bullfinch, waxwing) On which page of the album should Vanya place these stamps?
What birds live with us both in summer and winter? (sparrow, crow). On which page of the album will we put these stamps?
You can use other options for this game:
1.Print pictures with the image of stamps and the image of the album on the printer. Then you get a sheet with a task in which the child draws lines from the bird to the desired page of the album with stamps.
2. Give the child pictures of birds and ask them to divide them into three groups.
3. If the exercise is carried out with a group of children, then you can give each child a picture of a bird in their hands. Draw three circles on the floor with chalk. In one circle put a picture with a palm tree, in the second - pictures of summer and winter, in the third picture with icicles - a sign of nomadic birds that have flown to our resort "Icicle".
Children depict birds. At the signal "day" the birds begin to fly. At the signal "Go home!" children look for their flock and run to the right circle. Migratory birds run in a circle depicting a palm tree, nomadic birds run in a circle depicting a flying bird, and so on. You need to have time to find your home and your flock of birds before the signal: "Night!". Then the birds fall asleep - each flock in its own house. At the signal “Day”, the birds begin to fly again, peck grains, and flap their wings. Then the signal “Go home!” sounds again. and the birds fly to their flocks.
You can introduce an additional character into the game - a cat or an owl, which will catch birds at night. The rule is that you can catch only those birds that did not have time to hide in their house. If the bird is caught, then it becomes a cat (or an owl) in the next game.
4. You can introduce a deliberate mistake into the game - for example, give the child a picture of a squirrel along with pictures of birds. When the baby begins to lay out the pictures into three groups, ask where he will put the picture with the squirrel, because she also does not live in trees? This is a problematic situation for a child, because indeed, a squirrel lives on a tree! What to do with this picture?
But does a squirrel look like a bird? Does she breed chicks? Does it have wings? How does it differ from birds? Can it be attributed to one of these three groups of birds? No!
In such problematic puzzles, the kid learns to distinguish the main thing from the secondary, and this is very important for his intellectual development! And he also learns to defend his opinion and not succumb to provocations!
If you want to believe, you want to check.

STORK
This is our old friend:
He lives on the roof of the house -
Long-legged, long-nosed,
Long necked, voiceless.
He flies to hunt
Follow the frogs to the swamp.
Since ancient times, people have considered white storks as a symbol of good luck and success. If storks have built a nest on the roof of a house, this should certainly bring happiness to its owner.
People have made up many legends about storks. According to one of them, storks bring newborn babies to parents, and according to another, storks often throw precious stones into the chimneys of chimneys on which they built a nest. On the Annunciation, cookies with the image of a stork were baked for the arrival of storks. Children threw cookies up and asked the stork to bring a good harvest.
From time immemorial, storks have settled next to humans. The male stork chooses a girlfriend with whom he lives all his life. A pair of storks make a large nest of branches, usually in trees or rocks, but more often on man-made structures: houses, tall factory chimneys, or on power pylons.
The nest serves as a cozy home for storks for many years. Every year, returning from warm countries in the spring, storks repair the nest, weave new branches into it.
In mid-spring, the female lays 3 to 8 eggs. They are incubated by both parents. After 4-6 weeks, small storks hatch from the eggs. After another two months, the chicks begin to learn to fly and go with their parents to the first hunt.
Storks feed on frogs and lizards, as well as mollusks, worms, insects and their larvae.

(N. Dobrota) FOLK SIGNS A flying stork portends to those who see it health and harvest, marriage and health; motionless stork - illness, drought, celibacy. Money in your pocket at a meeting with a stork promises wealth, and empty pockets - losses.
HERON
Standing on one leg
Staring into the water
Pokes beak at random -
Looking for frogs in the river.
(A. Painting)
Of course, you guessed that these verses are dedicated to the heron. Herons live on the banks of reservoirs and swamps of all continents of our planet, except for Antarctica.
Herons' favorite food is small fish and frogs. Watching for prey, the heron can stand motionless in one place for a long time, sometimes leaning on one leg. Seeing the approaching fish, the heron makes a sharp movement of the head and grabs the prey. The special structure of the neck allows the heron to make very fast and sharp lunges with his head.
Frogs see only moving objects, so they simply do not notice a stationary heron. And the heron lures fish by moving its long toes in the water. The fish think that it is worms crawling along the bottom and swimming right into the heron's beak.
Herons settle in large families, nests are arranged in trees, or even just on the ground. The female lays large greenish eggs, from which chicks hatch after about a month. They are completely naked and helpless. The chicks ask for food all the time, and the male heron has to spend all day looking for food. The female remains in the nest. When the chicks grow up a little, the female goes hunting with the male.
It is interesting to watch herons fly. While most other birds stretch their necks and heads forward, herons, on the contrary, pull their necks deep into their shoulders.
Some species of herons have a peculiar mane of long feathers on their head, neck or back.
PUZZLES
This bird has
The beak is like two spokes.
She walks on the water
Every now and then the nose bathes.

On one leg in a nap?
Who has a drop on his beak?
Well, of course, this is ... (heron)
SPARROW
sparrows,
Gray feathers!
Peck, peck crumbs
From my palm!
(S. Egorov)
Sparrows are old neighbors of man. They build their nests next to people's houses, and sometimes right on them - under the roof, in the cracks of the walls or behind the cornices of windows and doors. Sparrows are surprisingly unpretentious. They eat any food, help gardeners, destroying harmful insects. But on occasion, they can also harm crops, pecking out grains. "Bey the thief!" - shouted the peasants in the old days, seeing a flock of small birds in their fields. Hence the name of the sparrow.
Sparrows are city and field. City sparrows are small gray birds, and field sparrows are brighter - they have a brown cap on their heads and two light stripes on their wings.
daring sparrow
Shown off the asphalt
In front of a flock of doves
And jump and somersault.
(Yu. Parfenov)
Sparrows communicate with each other with loud chirps, reporting on feeding sites or that a predator is sneaking up on the flock. Together it is easier to find food and avoid danger. Sometimes a flock of sparrows fought back even a formidable hawk!
During the warm season, the sparrow manages to lay eggs 2–3 times and breed. Scientists have calculated that with such fertility, sparrows should have already forced out all other birds from our planet. But this does not happen, because not all chicks survive, dying in the claws and beaks of predatory animals and birds.

Sneaking around the yards

A hungry sparrow sits on the chaff.
And the sparrow chirps at the cat.
You can't fool an old sparrow on the chaff.
MARTIN
Warms the hot sun
Streams murmur in the yard,
And at our window
A flock of swallows are screaming.
We flew up ... Hush, hush ...
With a cry curl around the porch.
These are the swallows under the roof
Build nests for chicks.
(N. Zabila)
One of the fastest birds are swallows. The shape of their body is ideally adapted for flight, the wings are arrow-shaped, and the tail is forked. Outwardly, swallows look like swifts.
The legs of the swallows are weak, it is difficult for them to support the body. Therefore, swallows never walk on the ground. They are always in flight, and when they get tired, they sit on tree branches or telegraph wires. Even swallows drink on the fly, scooping up water from the river with their beaks.
Like other migratory birds, with the onset of cold weather, swallows fly south for wintering, to warm countries. In the spring they always return to their native places.
By the behavior of swallows, you can predict the weather. If the swallows circle high in the sky, it will be warm and dry. But they fly almost at the very ground - which means it will rain soon. Why is that? It turns out that before the rain, insects that get moisture from the atmosphere descend to the surface of the earth. The hunters-swallows rush after them.
Swallows build nests from lumps of clay, connecting them with saliva. In the village killer whale, the entrance to the nest is located from above, and in the city swallow - on the side. Inside the nest is lined with down and feathers. Sand swallows dig holes in the slopes of steep river banks.

(Swallow) FOLK SIGNS
Early swallows - for a happy harvest year.
The swallow begins the day, the nightingale ends the evening.
Swallows fly high in the sky - for good weather, and if low - for rain.
The cuckoo brings news of summer, the swallow brings warm days.
When ecological or feeding conditions change, many birds fly away to warmer climes. This may be due to the peculiarities of their reproduction. These living creatures have a high level of mobility, which is not available to other birds. The article will consider photos of migratory birds with names for children, having studied which, the child will clearly distinguish between the types of living beings and independently determine which of them fly away to spend the winter in warm countries, and which ones prefer a cold climate.
This article indicates a variety of migratory for children and the description will serve as an excellent opportunity to put a starting point in the development of the child in the environmental field of knowledge. Thanks to this, from a very young age, a person will be able to lay the foundations of a new science in his mind.
Famous Names for Children of Different Ages
So, only those that fly to warmer climes for the winter period should be classified as migratory birds. The fact is that these creatures are warm-blooded (41 degrees is their body temperature on average). Therefore, they can freely maintain active positions in winter. But the problem is that not all of them are able to get food in the cold season, because the cover of the earth's surfaces freezes, and the inhabitants of the sky need to eat a lot, since the energy they expended significantly exceeds the mark that is allowed in the warm season. This is the reason for saying goodbye to the Motherland and flying to countries with a warm climate.
The representatives of the considered group include: swallow, lapwing, lark, robin, oriole, forest pipit, redstart, black-headed warbler and many others. In addition to migratory birds, there are also sedentary (remain wintering in their native lands) and nomadic (make a flight depending on the severity of the season) inhabitants of the sky. Below, photos of migratory birds with names for children will be described in detail and presented.
In what order do the birds fly away?
It should be noted that the birds leave their native lands gradually. It has been established in society that migratory birds (names for children are presented below) that feed on insects (insectivores) are the very first to open their wings. It is important to note that such creatures tend to sing very well.
In the course of many years of research, it was noted that migratory birds (names for children; see the list of birds below), such as swifts and swallows, become the initial link in the opening of the season of farewell to native lands. Then they fly away to the southern countries (for example, swans). And this is not surprising, because all reservoirs, without exception, are covered with an ice cover immediately after minus temperatures become appropriate. The crane flies next (this happens at the beginning of the first autumn month), followed by the rook.
The final link in this list are geese and ducks (the latter leave the edges later than all). There are many cases when ducks preferred not to fly to southern countries, but to stay in their native places. But this phenomenon occurs only if the freezing of their housing, the pond is excluded. Therefore, it was customary among the people that it was ducks that carried frost and winter on their tails.
Fundamental differences between migratory and nomadic birds
Migratory birds (names for children (middle group): rook, swan, duck, nightingale, lark and others) are discussed in great detail. It remains only to draw a line of differences between them and nomadic living beings. So, in any case, migratory birds will prefer to leave their homeland with the onset of cold weather, regardless of various circumstances. They have a flight at the gene level, so it is impossible to argue with nature in this case.
Migratory birds (names for children) are capercaillie, pika, woodpecker, hazel grouse, black grouse, crossbill, jay, titmouse and many others.
Nomadic birds themselves determine whether they fly to the southern countries or not. This decision depends on the weather conditions in your home area. If the winter promises to be warm, then jackdaws, siskins, smurfs, bullfinches, nuthatches and other representatives of the group in question will be happy to spend the winter in their homeland. And if they feel the severity of the approaching season, then they will undoubtedly fly away to warmer climes (for example, a sparrow will most likely remain on its territory if its place of residence is the European part of Russia; in the case of Central Asia, it will fly away to distant India) .
Principles of flight of the considered birds
Thanks to the development of science, a considerable amount of information about bird flights has been collected. In this section, you should find out how birds orient themselves and how flocks are formed during the flight.
For the absolute navigation of the creatures under consideration during long-distance flights, the guidance of the earth's magnetic field takes place. That is, the starling can return from the southern countries to its homeland only thanks to the awareness of the direction of the north magnetic pole, in addition, it is able to freely determine its location, as well as the direction necessary for the return.
The formation of a flock occurs in a very interesting way, since the dynamics of its light and dark elements plays a central role in this process. The fact is that birds thus maintain a certain level of density necessary to collect the necessary information from their neighbors through signs and actions developed at the gene level.
Migratory birds. Names for children. Rook as the most famous inhabitant of the sky of this group
Of the huge variety of migratory birds, the rook occupies a special place. That is why the people call him the herald of winter. This inhabitant of the sky arrives by mid-March, and leave their native lands only in late autumn (late October or early November).
An interesting feature of rooks is the ability to imitate human speech, and this is one of the reasons why it is so revered in society. The length of an adult bird is approximately 45 centimeters, but the weight of you varies from 310 to 490 grams. Visually, the rook resembles a crow, but its difference is in the relative harmony and surface of the feathers, which is endowed not only with a black color, but also with a purple tint.
Very thin, yet straight. Such a device allows him to freely obtain food from all kinds of places (for example, they can easily afford to get food from under the ground). In nutrition, rooks are not picky at all, they eat earthworms, rodents, and so on.
As for the benefit to society that the birds in question bring, it is undoubtedly great, because rooks are active eaters of flora pests. Among such caterpillars, bugs, rodents and others. And this is another reason why people are crazy about rooks.
Swallow as one of the most common migratory birds
Most likely, in the absence of evidence, no one would have thought that such a small and fragile bird could travel great distances. But this is true, in addition, the swallow process is carried out twice a year. Although it should be noted that the flight for her is a great danger, which is why the swallow often does not reach its destination (the whole flock may die). As a rule, this alignment happens in adverse weather conditions.
The bird in question looks truly flawless, because its elongated wings and a clear cut of the tail do their job. It is important to note that the swallow is a perfect inhabitant of the sky, because this bird is rarely seen on the ground. Interestingly, during the flight, she can sleep, eat and even mate.
The species diversity of swallows is very wide: in nature there are about 120 species. These inhabitants of the sky quickly get used to new conditions, which is why they can be found everywhere, except for Australia and Antarctica. Swallows feed exclusively on insects, getting them out of the ground or finding them in the bark of trees.
Nightingale and the nature of his life
As can be seen from the article, all migratory birds (names for children can be found in the process of reading) have fundamental differences. The last candidate for consideration is the nightingale, popularly known as a great singer.
Why does the nightingale sing? The fact is that directly in the course of this process, the bird completely forgets about all the dangers that threaten it. She simply puts her wings down and enjoys her art (it would be great if a person could get the same result from singing!).
In winter, this inhabitant of the sky flies in the direction of North Africa, and in the spring it returns. As a rule, in mid-April there is already an opportunity to observe the nightingale, because it is at this time that the first insects appear - and the bird can fully eat. The nightingale weighs quite a bit, only 25 grams, and its color is very dark with a brownish-gray tint. That is why the bird looks miniature, and you can’t even believe that it is capable of long-distance flights.
