A bird unit study can be a great zoology unit for schools and homeschools at any time of the year. Of course, I especially think of studying birds in the spring and before Easter, a natural time to study eggs. But whenever you choose to study birds, there are lots of amazing Montessori-inspired bird resources available!

Thank you for featuring our mini bird book and thank you for so many other links!! We’re almost finished with our bird unit. The kids have each chosen a specific bird to learn more about and Little J will be writing a report on his choice. We are planning a visit to a raptor center as our end of unit celebration.

We feed the birds in the winter, so looking out our window is like being at a bird zoo. My daughter is currently obsessed with birds as she thinks they are all her pets. We’ve been doing a lot of bird learning lately, so I’ll be bookmarking this page to try out a lot of these learning activities with her.
