Bird feeder tray
A Shallow (F1) Gratnells tray doubles perfectly as a bird feeding tray, and is the perfect #WhatsInMyTray activity to get your class outside and enjoying the sunshine.
You will need…
- One Shallow (F1) Gratnells tray
- One 2×2 Gratnells tray insert
- Different varieties of bird feed
- Water
- An outside space
What to do…
- Head outside with a Shallow (F1) Gratnells tray and a 2×2 Gratnells insert
- Fill each section of the insert with a different type of bird food. You could also fill one section with water so that the birds can have a drink or bath
- Place the tray on the ground or on a raised surface so that the birds can fly down and stop for a little break
- You could spend some time watching the different birds that stop by. Try to identify them based on their individual characteristics.
- You could record which birds enjoy which type of food the most and if they stop for a drink or bath.
