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.

How Kids Get Started Birding
(It’s Easier Than You Think)

Kids Birding Club includes everything to guide your child—these are a few simple tools that make the experience even more exciting.
These are the same tools I use when birding with kids here in Charleston.

Binoculars

Binoculars help kids see birds up close and make birding more exciting. Youth binoculars are lighter and easier to use. I recommend the Bantam HD Youth 6.5x32 from Vortex—durable and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Identify Birds with Merlin

Merlin is a free app that helps you identify birds instantly. Kids can use it by photo, sound, or by answering a few simple questions. It includes bird songs, range maps, and helpful ID tools.

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.

Each month in Kids Birding Club gives kids a new bird to discover—and fun challenges that get them outside putting tools like these to use.
