The Search for Birds' Feathers


Finding a feather is a wonderful treat. So why not try this search for birds' feathers activity and find a natural treasure ?

Silvermine Dam is a excellent spot to find some feathers so what you waiting for?

What You'll Need:

  • Brown paper bag
  • Gardening gloves (optional)
  • Walking stick (optional)
  • notebook
  • Tape
  • Markers

Keep your eyes peeled. Remember that feathers are light and easily caught by the wind, so carefully use your gloves and walking stick to rummage through piles of natural debris blown against large stones or fallen logs.

When you find your feathers, slip them into your paper bag for safekeeping until you get home. Once home, ask your friends/ parents or even Google, if they can help you identify what bird lost each feather.

Use library books or the Internet to find pictures of the birds. Tape the feathers inside a notebook and make a few notes about what secrets each one revealed.

Be sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water whenever you handle wild feathers of any kind. Feathers can carry germs.
