Kids & Birds

If you're looking for an activity that benefits (and encourages) physical and mental health for kids, look no further than birds. Whether it's a walk in nature with a pair of binoculars, the thrill of seeing a new bird or the quiet peace of a backyard full of birdsong, the benefits are many. 

Birdwatching and feeding the birds also encourages curiosity, empathy and appreciation for nature. And, it encourages mindfulness, the simple pleasure of just being in the moment (and not on a device), studies also show the many health benefits of this. 

The sight and sound of birds just being birds is some of the best stress relief there is, for busy parents and kids alike.
