Why Families Love Kids Bird Club

Kids Bird Club helps children build curiosity about nature while learning real birding skills.

Each month introduces a new bird to discover and a fun reason to get outside.

Parents love the program because it encourages:

• outdoor exploration

• curiosity about wildlife

• hands-on learning

Kids love collecting the patches and working toward their Junior Birder certificate as they complete the bird challenges.

Tools to Help Kids Start Birding

Getting kids interested in birdwatching is easier than you might think. A simple guidebook, a pair of binoculars, and a helpful app can open up an entire world of birds.

Kids Guide to Birds of the Carolinas

Birding Guide Book

There are many great bird identification guides including Sibley, Crossley, and Peterson. One of my favorites for young birders is Stan Tekiela’s Kids Bird Guide series. Each state has its own guide, and the format is simple, colorful, and easy for kids to understand.

The Children's Book of Bird Watching

Learn about Birds 

The Children’s Book of Birdwatching is a wonderful resource for kids who want to learn about birds. The book explains how birds live, what they eat, where they nest, and includes fun projects that help attract birds to your yard.

Vortex Binoculars

Binoculars

Binoculars help kids see birds up close and make birding much more exciting. There are many options available, but youth binoculars are lighter and easier to use. I recommend the Bantam HD Youth 6.5x32 binoculars from Vortex, which are durable and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Create a Bird

Friendly Backyard

One of the best ways to get kids interested in birds is by creating a bird friendly backyard. Adding a feeder, bird bath, or native plants can attract a surprising variety of birds. Even a small yard or patio can become a great place to watch birds up close and learn about the species that visit your neighborhood.

Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Merlin ID App

Merlin is an incredible free app that helps you identify birds. You can identify birds by photo, sound, or by answering a few simple questions about what you see. The app includes photos, bird songs, range maps, and helpful identification tools.

Bird Academy

Bird Academy

Explore the Bird Academy! They offer fun games and activities that help kids learn about birds, including how birds fly, sing, and build nests. Bird Academy also offers great learning tools for adults who want to learn more.
