• Purchase books on the subject available on-line and in local bookstores.
• Join a local bird club or society. This may even create opportunities for new friendships.
• Order DVDs about birds and bird watching, but make sure you get out seeing the real thing!
• Make sure to get a good field guide which will describe each species of bird, explain their habits, and often have pictures for easy identification. Children often love to look through these and it is a great education for them.
• You might even want to purchase some binoculars for viewing those birds way up high in your trees.
