Course progress.

1. The teacher reads a poem by A. Pleshcheeva:

Boring picture!

Clouds without end

The rain is pouring down

Puddles on the porch

stunted rowan

Wet under the window;

Looks village

Gray spot.

What are you visiting early,

Autumn, come to us?

Still asks the heart

Light and warmth.

Guys, tell me, please, what season is the poem talking about? /About autumn/

What are the characteristics of autumn? / The foliage turns yellow, drizzling rains fall, fly away birds/.

And what are they called birds who fly away to warmer climes and who stay? / Migratory and wintering/.

name migratory birds? /Swallow, woodpecker, rook, heron, crane, starling, lark/.

2. The teacher offers the children to listen to the sound recording.

Children, what do you hear? (Forest, forest noise)

And how did you guess that this is a forest?

What birds you know?

Why some birds are called hibernators, and some migratory?

3. Game exercise « Migratory and wintering» .

Invite the children to divide the pictures into two groups(on a snowflake - wintering, and on a twig - migratory)

4. Slideshow

Why are these birds fly away from us in the fall? To understand this, let's remember what serves them as food. That's right, all these birds eat insects: a rook gets worms from freshly dug up earth, swifts and swallows grab midges and other insects right on the fly, Do you know what caring parents of killer whales are? They, flying away for prey, sometimes tie their chicks horse hair. They wind one end of the hair around the paw, and attach the other to the wall of the nest. Cuckoos hunt caterpillars, and they eat such caterpillars that others birds don't eat, after all among caterpillars are both hairy and poisonous, and cuckoos eat them all in a row. There were cases when only a few cuckoos saved large forests from dangerous pests.

But in autumn the insects disappear. Our birds lose their main food, so they are forced to fly to warmer climes. So what's scarier birds in winter - cold or hunger? Of course, hunger. After all, settled birds that live with us all the time - sparrows, crows, doves - tolerate winter cold. Why don't they fly away? What do these people eat birds? They are omnivorous: they can also peck at insects, but their main food is plant seeds. In autumn, they like to eat the grain that wakes up during the harvesting of cereals. In winter, they feed on the seeds of trees and stay close to human habitation, hoping for the help of people.

Guys, do you know that not all birds going to warmer climes? There are such migratory birds who come to us for the winter. (The story is accompanied by a slide show of bullfinches).

Bullfinches are inhabitants of the taiga, northern mixed forests. But during winter wanderings they fly to us. They become noticeable precisely with the fall of snow. Bullfinches feed on the fruits of maple, mountain ash, and they eat only small bones from berries, and discard the pulp. They also peck seeds from spruce and pine cones that have fallen to the ground. They cannot get the seeds out of the cones.

But relatives of bullfinches - crossbills - have strong beaks with crossed tips. They can exfoliate any bump. Crossbills not only come to us for the winter from colder forests, but also breed chicks here in winter. The main food of crossbills is spruce and pine seeds, which they easily get out of the cones with their amazing beak.

5. Physical Minute:

An exercise "Guess and Sit"

Guys, now I will call migratory and wintering birds if you hear the name of the wintering birds then squat; and if the title migratory then wave your hands. Crow, nightingale, woodpecker, magpie, dove, swallow, titmouse, rook, starling, bullfinch, stork, crane, sparrow, heron, etc.

(conducted to the soundtrack of cheerful music.)

6. - Exercise "Finish the sentence"

spring birds build nests, because… (children repeat the phrase and finish it) they breed chicks in them.

Swallows are the first to fly south because…. they eat insects.

The last to fly away in autumn are swans, geese, ducks, because .... reservoirs do not freeze for a long time and give them food.

All people love to listen to the nightingale, because .... he sings wonderfully.

Caterpillars can't destroy crops because.... birds kill them.

- birds need to be loved and protected, because…. they are of great benefit (they decorate nature, sing wonderfully, etc.)

7. Finger gymnastics

(Development of general and fine motor skills, removal of muscle clamps, maintaining a positive emotional mood children). In the course of physical minutes, the children perform the movements corresponding to the text. - The chick in the nest woke up, Startled. Stretched. And he nodded his head, and wagged his tail. (finger charge)- He opened his beak wide, Loudly, loudly squeaked: Wee-wee-wee, wee-wee-wee…. Bring the worm quickly. - Mom and dad swirled, Treats were dragged. (finger charge)- A worm, a flea and a midge, Eat, eat, our baby (one palm is wide open - "chick's mouth", the fingers of the other hand are brought together - “mom's beak, the fingers gathered together rest against the open palm, then the position of the hands changes - each spoken word leads to a change of hands). - The chick is full, he is sleeping again. Shh-ts-ts, we can't wake him up Children! Remember when birds they take out and feed their chicks next to them, you must behave very quietly so as not to frighten them.

9. Conversation "People and birds»

Why birds called feathered friends?

Why do we need birds?

What do people do for birds?

What happens if the birds will disappear?

Why do you love birds?

The most interesting thing for children is to watch live birds on a walk. Often, kids 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, the crow flies alone. The 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 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 from the shape of the beak what the bird eats (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? (little)
• 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 are good quality and permission is in the presentation at the end of the article. The presentation can be downloaded for free.

Riddles riddles:

1. 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)
2. This is passerines feathers and tail are also sparrow. The sparrow is easily recognizable by its gray and brown plumage.
3. 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 they run in a circle with the image of a palm tree, wanderers - in a circle with the image of a flying bird, etc. 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? Not!

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.

They remain in their native lands, and migratory ones change their range depending on the time of year. With the advent of cold weather, the food base is reduced, so birds fly to regions with warm winter and affordable food. Among the insectivorous species, there are more migratory birds than among the granivorous ones. In the spring they return to their habitable places to breed chicks. Bird migration can occur both over short and long distances.

Rook

The only migratory bird from the Raven family. The female and male build a nest in the tops of trees. Rooks, they feed on plant seeds, earthworms, May beetles. A small percentage of the diet is made up of small ones. Flight to warmer climes occurs in October. Rooks are early birds that return to their native places in March. Scientists noticed that in some regions they began to lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Redstart

A tiny red-tailed bird lives in mixed forests, as well as gardens and parks. These birds feed on flies, beetles, small caterpillars and mosquitoes. Redstart flies in early autumn, and returns to its original place in May.

song thrush

These representatives of the avifauna have chosen forests with dense undergrowth. Males attract females with their trills. Their diet consists of insects and wild berries. In autumn, the song thrush flies to the west of Europe and the north of Africa. Arrival times depend on weather conditions. The birds return to their inhabited places no later than the first decade of April.

Dubonos

The bird is distinguished by a dense physique and a massive beak. Grosbeaks build their nests in the crowns of trees. found in deciduous forests, gardens and groves. The main food is the bones and seeds of fruit and berry plants. Departure is at the beginning of September.

field lark

The bird, which is slightly larger than a sparrow, lives in the fields and on the hills. Larks make their nests right on the ground, in the middle of rural areas. They feed on insects and seeds. The species winters in southern Europe, where it migrates in mid-September. Field larks massively return to their habitats in March, when the snow has not yet melted. They feed on last year's seeds, which they find in places warmed by the sun.

Finch

The little bird is known for its rolling trills. Finches are found in forest-steppes, forests, parks and gardens. They make nests in low trees. Adults feed on seeds, earthworms and caterpillars. For the winter, finches fly in huge flocks to Southern Europe and the Caucasus. Some individuals prefer to simply move to more southern regions. Arrival occurs at the beginning of April, and a month later, the birds start laying eggs.

Oriole

A songbird of bright color that lives in Central Europe. She settles in mixed forests, groves and forest parks. The oriole tries to be inconspicuous, therefore it builds nests in the crowns of trees. The nest of stems, bast and plant fibers resembles a basket. The oriole is careful, she tries not to fly off the branches. Adults feed on snails, beetles, and caterpillars. The bird is considered valuable for forestry. In the summer, the oriole pecks at the fruits of bird cherry, mulberry and various berries. In August, birds fly to Africa and India for the winter. The oriole returns to its inhabited places only in May, when the air warms up well.

Forest horse

The natural habitat of these birds are fields, sparse forests, edges and overgrown clearings. The horse builds nests on the ground, in shallow pits. On the surface, birds move by running. Insects serve as a source of food, often the bird picks up seeds from the ground. In warm regions, skates move in small flocks or singly. Birds leave their habitats no later than the beginning of October. They migrate to Africa and India. The pipit returns from winter quarters in early April and immediately finds a nesting mate.

common cuckoo

The gray bird is slightly smaller than the dove. Perhaps there is no person who would not hear the trill of the cuckoo. Feathers are found throughout the country, from to. Cuckoos are polygamous birds. The female lays her eggs in the nests of small passerine species. The grown-up cuckoo throws other chicks out of the nest, but the "parents" continue to feed him. Adults are mobile and voracious. All day long they eat caterpillars, slugs, dragonflies and grasshoppers. Cuckoos fly to their winter quarters singly. Older generations fly earlier. They disappear from inhabited places by the end of August. Birds winter in Africa, Arabia and.

Swallow city

The bird has black plumage on its back and white plumage on its belly. The tail has a triangular ending. The city swallow, or funnel swallow, is not adapted to walking. Their lives are in flight. Birds catch insects on the fly and even drink water. The swallow lives in settlements throughout Europe. She makes nests of clay and earth on stone buildings. Birds arrive in mid-spring and occupy last year's nests. Departure to Africa falls in mid-September.

Robin

The closest relatives of the bird are nightingales. The robin is known for its sonorous and melodic voice. These birds live in alder, spruce and forest parks. They are a source of nutrition, in warm weather they eat berries. The robin nests on the ground. Birds fly to the south of Europe one by one. The birds return in April and immediately start nesting.

Chiffchaff

The species lives on the edges, in forest parks, thickets of grass. The range is distributed throughout the country. This species of warblers builds nests not only on the ground, but also in the thick of the undergrowth. They feed on cicadas, aphids, small butterflies and caterpillar pupae. Chiffchaffs winter in.

common starling

The starling is distributed from to semi-deserts. Migrations are observed in birds from the eastern parts of the range. The bulk of starlings nest in settlements, using specially built houses. AT wild nature Birds make their nests in hollow trees. Diet consists of invertebrates. Starlings winter in the tropics of Africa and Asia.

Warbler-chernogolovka

The bird is common in the European part of Russia. Its range is . Warbler nests mainly on young fir-trees, junipers and raspberries. Birds feed on insects and their larvae; a small proportion of the diet is berries and seeds. Departure to Africa falls on September, some individuals fly away only in October. Warbler-chernogolovka returns in mid-May.

common nightingale

The species is distributed in Europe and Siberia. The habitat is light forests, floodplains and city parks. The nightingale builds nests at the roots of bushes and in a heap autumn leaves. During the breeding season, the diet of birds consists of insects and invertebrates. At the height of summer, the nightingale feeds on berries, nuts and seeds. Wintering takes place in East Africa. Birds return to their original places in early June.

white wagtail

The color of the bird is gray-white, the long tail sways periodically. The wagtail is distributed throughout Eurasia. It lives along the banks of rivers, on the edges, in agricultural lands. Nests are often found in residential areas, squares and parks. The bird moves well on the ground. The main food is mosquitoes, dragonflies, flies and butterflies. In the southern regions of Russia, the wagtail leads a sedentary lifestyle. Departure to the Mediterranean falls at the beginning of September. Sometimes birds return to nesting sites to remember them. Birds arrive in March, when the rivers break up from the ice.

Lapwing

A small bird from the Rzhankov family, common in Europe. The back of the lapwing is painted black, shimmering with a metallic sheen. On the head there is a crest of long feathers. Birds prefer open spaces, therefore they settle in meadows, pastures and in river valleys. They build their nests in holes in the ground. It is difficult for a lapwing to protect offspring from; both partners take part in protecting the nest. In case of masonry ruin, the couple proceeds to the second attempt. Birds come together in flocks to search for food. The diet includes larvae, earthworms and snails. At the end of summer, lapwings gather in flocks and go to India, China and Japan for the winter. Birds return to nesting places in early spring, when snow is everywhere. They migrate both in pairs and in groups.

Nature comes alive in spring, everything blooms. Trills, chirping and birdsong are heard. They enjoy the warmth and the sun. With the onset of spring, migratory birds return to their native lands. They start building nests and hatch chicks.

Tell the children about migratory birds in spring. On walks, on the road to Kindergarten, school, listen to the birds singing, have a conversation, tell the children about their lifestyle, what they eat. You can even play word games on the street that will help develop your child's speech and enrich vocabulary.

Birds are warm-blooded creatures. Their average body temperature is 41 degrees. So that they can stay for the winter and be active, they need a lot of food. And there is no food for insectivorous birds in winter. Therefore, they fly to warmer climes in the fall.
The main reason for the departure of birds is cold and lack of food.

In spring, insects appear, the snow melts, it is already possible to find the seeds of last year's plants, beetle larvae and birds return home.

Birds that fly to warmer climes in autumn and return to their native lands in spring are called migratory.

Migratory birds in spring. Children about birds

Rooks. E The snow has not completely melted yet, but the rooks have already returned and are importantly walking around the fields.

The rook looks like a crow, but its beak is thinner and straighter. The plumage is black, with a purple tint.

Rooks are omnivores. They collect cereals, fruits and seeds of plants in the fields, they can eat earthworms, small rodents. They nest in colonies, build nests high on trees.

By destroying beetles and their larvae, bedbugs, caterpillars, rooks are of great benefit to gardeners and gardeners.

Starlings and larks fly behind the rooks.

Starlings- small birds, outwardly similar to a thrush, but unlike them, they walk on the ground, and do not jump. The starling has a sharp black beak. During the breeding season, the color of the beak changes to yellow. The plumage is black, both in the male and in the female, with a purple, green tint. In winter, white spots appear on the feathers. The tail and wings of the starling are short.

Starlings are omnivorous: they eat both plant and animal food. In early spring, insect larvae are collected, earthworms are eaten. In summer they catch grasshoppers, spiders, caterpillars and worms.

Starlings sing interestingly, they can imitate the sounds of other birds and animals: they creak, rattle, they can bleat like sheep and bark like dogs.

The nest is built by both parents. The female lays 4-6 bluish eggs.

When the starlings arrive home, they begin to look for a nesting place: a hollow, an old birdhouse.

In schools, children often make birdhouses for starlings in the spring and hang them on trees.

Lark. Arrives early in spring.

The field lark is slightly larger than the sparrow. Its back is brown-yellow, with variegated speckles, the plumage of the abdomen is white, the chest is brown, and on the head of the lark there is a small crest. Coloring helps the lark to successfully disguise itself in the grass and on the ground.

The lark lives in fields and meadows. The nest is built right on the ground, in a hole, among the grass. To build a nest, it uses grass, plant roots, stems, and lines the nest with fluff. The lark disguises its nest well.

The bird feeds on grass seeds and cereals. In summer - beetles, spiders, butterfly pupae.

Finch. Very beautiful bird and sings well.

Arrives at the end of March. "The finch flew in, brought spring on its tail."

The male plumage is bright (especially in spring). The head is blue-brown, the chest is brownish-red, there are white spots on the wings.

The finch feeds on insects. It nests in forests and parks. Adult birds take care of the chicks, feed them and warn each other of danger with an alarm call.

In April, other migratory birds also arrive: thrushes, swans, kites, geese, ducks, herons, cranes, warblers.

In May: swallows, flycatchers, nightingales, swifts, orioles.

Martin. Beautiful little bird. Gets food in the air, catches insects on the fly. Swallows live 4-5 years.

They have a slender body, narrow and long wings, a small beak, short legs, and a long tail.

The swallow's nest is built from clay, sand and mud, wetting the lumps with its saliva. Inside the nest is lined with soft bedding. Often nests are made near human dwellings, under the roofs of houses, in sheds, on the banks of rivers. I remember in my childhood we had a swallow's nest in the barn. She returned every spring and hatched her chicks.

Swallows lay 4-6 eggs in the nest and take turns incubating the chicks and feeding them by both parents.

Nightingale. Small singing bird.

"The nightingale flew in, sang, which means that spring has blossomed."

The plumage of the nightingale is brownish, the tail is reddish. It winters in Africa. Inhabits damp shrubbery, in river valleys. The nest is made on the ground or in bushes.

It feeds on spiders and insects. The nightingale sings very beautifully. It is not for nothing that they call him a singer, they sing songs about him.

Thrush, insectivorous birds.

Large bird, beautiful, with yellow plumage. The oriole sings very beautifully, like a flute.

Swans. Graceful bird. Large.

They fly to Africa in the fall and return in the spring. A symbol of purity, beauty and nobility. It is said that swans cannot live without each other. There are white, gray and black.

Heron. D a long-legged bird with a sharp beak. They stand by the water and look out for prey.

In Tiraspol, near the cathedral, we have a lake where swans live.

Insectivorous birds are the first to fly to warmer climes, then granivorous ducks and geese later than all others, when water bodies freeze.

Cuckoo. famous bird. Restless, does not like to communicate with other birds.

The cuckoo feeds mainly on insects and their larvae. Favorite food is furry caterpillars. By destroying them, the cuckoo helps nature.

The cuckoo is an example of the wrong attitude of parents towards their children. She does not build her own nests and does not hatch chicks. The cuckoo lays its eggs in other people's nests. Cuckoo eggs are similar in size and color to the eggs of birds into whose nests she throws them. The cuckoo throws eggs into the nests of various birds: buntings, wagtails, warblers, wren.

When a cuckoo appears, it may throw eggs or other chicks out of the nest. He is then fed alone by foster parents to feed the voracious foundling.

Migratory birds. Games and tasks

Having introduced children to migratory birds, you can play games to consolidate knowledge and names of birds. I offer games that will help develop the child's speech.

"Name the chick"

Rook - rook

Goose - ... (gosling)

Starling - ... (starling)

Cuckoo - ... (cuckoo).

"One - many"

Didactic game ‘ ‘Flies away, doesn’t fly away’.

Name migratory and wintering birds.

It's so easy, communicating with children, you can introduce them to migratory birds and tell children about birds, learn names, recognize birds in nature.

To consolidate knowledge, ask the children questions:

Why are birds called migratory?

Why do they fly to warmer climes?

Name the waterfowl.

What are the benefits of birds?

What do they eat?

In conclusion, I suggest you watch the good old cartoon.

I wish you a good spring mood. Listen to the singing of birds, teach children to recognize birds by their voice, plumage. Nature gives us so much joy. Do not miss the opportunity to introduce children to nature, teach them to be kind, take care of birds and animals.

Write your comments. Share how you introduce your toddlers and preschoolers to migratory birds.

Best regards, Olga.

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 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.

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 rocks, which are natural environment their habitats, on buildings created by man.

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. It is interesting that the tassels on the head of an owl are not ears, the real ears of owls 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.

• 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. BUT appearance him, like the nightingale, 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 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 is predator birds, which 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 wild duck, which is a migratory bird, was 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 also 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.

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.
