I have a question. If I feed the hummingbird sugar water, isn't that like feeding them McDonald's. IS there some nutrient powder to give them instead?

I've noticed twice that 2 adult crows will be watching another crow- I'm guessing their baby fledge. one had its wing caught in a blackberry thorned branch. I gently removed the small crow, and it went on its merry way but 2 crows in the trees were yelling at me while I was doing it. Another time in another location I was taking my class out to the playground and it looked like a wounded crow wa in there. I knew the kids would mess with it. So I put a towel over its head and moved it practice flying elsewhere. Again, two birds in the trees were yelling at me.

I didn't have a mentor, but our church retreats were in the mountains and they let us free range during their meetings. In terms of exposing kids, you are exactly right. For our kids, we drove from a very urban settings to state parks and went on bird watching tours from like 4 years up. It wasn't like that was all we did. I took my daughter to a demonstration about air quality at the state capitol once. That was enough to have her become an environmental studies major and now writes climate change policy papers. By the way, I run a small day care and I'm doing all your suggestions and a number of the bird activities with my little ones. They are loving it! We entered the backyard bird count, and we entered the 5 birds they identified themselves.
