The Birds Bundle

Naturalist Birds Knowledge, Resources, Crafts and Games

We used to rely on listening to birds to stay safe from large predators, now many of us appreciate their song and have a love of them but want to know more. In this bundle, our friend and bird specialist, Charlie Peverett from Birdsong Academy guides you through the kinds of sound birds make, what they can tell you, how you can get to know different species and their sounds and habits. He then dives into 8 common British species to get you inspired and familiar with them as a great foundation for your journey. In this bundle you’ll also find our best biomimicry games for getting an embodied understanding of bird language and developing empathy for the birds as well as our favourite crafts to engage with learning about birds too. Finally we added in our resources on introducing a sit spot practice as one of our core routines and most powerful tools to bask in and become familiar with bird sound for all ages.

Welcome to the Bird Bundle

A warm welcome to this series on bird identification and bird language. Charlie gives an overview to the bird bundle and inspires us about how we will learn about bird song, the kinds of sounds we can listen out for and what they can tell us.

Ways to Learn Bird Sounds

There’s no one way to learn bird sounds, and it’s often a combination that works best for different birds, different situations and different people. Here we talk about different methods and processes that might help you in learning them yourself.

Robin – Erithacus rubecula

With orange feathers on its chest and its tendency to come close to our homes and follow us around in our gardens, it’s not hard to see why the robin is such a popular bird. The fact that, even in the depths of winter, the robin sings, may just be the icing on the cake.

Sit Spot

The Sit Spot is a key part of a personal connection journey to nature. In essence it is a place in nature where you go on a regular basis and be there.
