Bird ID and Costume

(Grades pre-school – early primary, or grades 2 – 5) What’s a great way to learn about birds? By becoming one of course! These trunks provide a costume to dress your students up with all the major bird adaptations to turn them into “real” birds of a feather, and real feathers for show as you create your bird.
