Bird Songs for Kids

Birds are a great spring topic, but a bird unit or mini-unit can be used at any time of year. Bird sounds are very enjoyable to identify for both children and adults. Making the children read and hum these bird songs is a fun activity that allows them to learn about the topic while having fun. It liberates their minds and speeds up the thought process. There are a variety of bird songs and poetry that children like singing.

This topic contains a few of them. Let's hum and sing together.

Bird Songs for Kids

Let us look at one of the bird songs for kids here.

Sung to: "Oh, My Darling Clementine"

Found a feather, found a feather, found a feather on the ground.

Oh, I am so very lucky a feather to have found.

Picked it up, picked it up, picked it up just like that,

Picked up that pretty feather then I put it in my hat.

Found a feather, found a feather, found a feather on the ground.

Oh, I am so very lucky a feather to have found.

I saw a little bird go hop, hop, hop.

I told the little bird to stop, stop, stop.

I went to the window to say 'How do you do?'

He wagged his little tail and far away he flew!

Here is the bird feeder. Here, seeds and crumbs.

Sprinkle them on and see what comes.

One cardinal, one chickadee, one junco, one jay.

Four of my bird friends are eating today.

Synopsis

The majority of the birds have flown away

But there is one bird I can see on this cold, dark winter day

Looking for a bite to eat

I'll feed you till the winter is through

And all your buddies return to play, little bird

On a sunny and pleasant spring day

Benefits of Listening to Bird Songs

Improves Concentration and Learning 

Certain sounds, such as birdsong, help concentration. Bird song relaxes individuals physically but stimulates them psychologically, according to Julian Treasure, author of Sound Business. Many people believe that listening to bird songs is beneficial to their mental health. In addition, some people find that listening to bird music and other natural noises helps them stay awake after a meal.

Reducing Stress and Anxiety 

In hospitals, playing bird songs has been demonstrated to reduce anxiety before injections and surgical procedures. Natural sounds in transportation hubs help to lessen travel stress: birds’ singing is used in a quiet lounge at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport to help passengers rest before their flights, earning the airport a good rating among passengers.

Resetting Ears

As the world has grown increasingly overrun by noise from machines, vehicles, trains, plains, loud music, honking horns, and so on, our only defence is to tune it out or turn up the volume on our earbuds. However, we lose the natural sounds in the process, which, as recent studies have revealed, are essential to our physical and psychological well-being. 

Exposure to mechanical and white noise has been proven in numerous studies to have a harmfu limpact on our focus, learning, and stress levels. So, the next time you're anxious or having difficulties concentrating, take a walk in a peaceful area. If that's not an option, listen to recorded natural sounds, particularly bird songs.

Habitat Indicators 

The importance of birds as indicators of habitat quality and composition has been thoroughly proven in many studies. Recorded bird singing, particularly dawn choruses, in a range of settings across the southwestern United States has shown that each one is unique.

Bird communities alter depending on habitat, and habitat changes are reflected in both bird communities and bird songs. Similarly, the introduction of foreign species alters the composition of the community as well as its music. A tremendous increase in populations of house sparrows and Eurasian collared doves has dramatically modified the dawn chorus in southwestern Arizona in the last ten years.

Changing Perspective 

Bird watching and listening are a good reminder that there are entire communities that exist independently of humans. The birds appear unconcerned with us as they go about their business of attracting partners, laying eggs, raising babies, seeking food, and attempting to survive. Although we are the centre of our own universes, we are not the centre of theirs. It's helpful to remind oneself of that now and then.

Conclusion

Bird songs or poems are the most liked ones by the children. We can make them involved in the concept, ask them to repeat the lines, provide an explanation of the lines, and do more activities. By doing all these, they will learn the subject, can come to know about the birds and their names, what they eat, where they stay, etc.
