Birdwatching
Celebrate National Bird Week
Activity time: 10-30 minutes
We have beautiful birds in Australia, like magpies, kookaburras and cockatoos.
Go for a walk, or even just look out your window to see how many you can spot. What kinds of birds live near you? What do they look and sound like? Do you have a favourite? Make sure to practice your bird calls.
You’ll need:
- hat and sunscreen
- shoes
- your best bird calling voice.
