Bird bath Bird bath Bird bath Bird bath Bird bath
Take a small earthen pot having
a wide mouth. Tie the pot with a
rope and hang it as shown in the
picture. Pour some water in the
pot and hang it on the branch of
a tree or on a hook outside your
house. Pour water in it everyday.
Observe which birds come to
drink water.
i Like us, animals also need water to live. There are
many other things which are required by both –
animals and humans. Write the names of three such
things.
i Have you ever fed any animal or seen anyone else
feeding any animal?  If yes, then fill in the table.
Help children make a bird bath. Keep the bird bath outside in the
open so that the children can observe the birds closely and get to
know about them.
You must have included food in your list. You know that we
eat a variety of food. Similarly, animals too eat different kinds
of food.
