We'll cover:

  • British garden birds and the UK Birds of Conservation Concern Red List
  • An introduction to the house sparrow and why their species is in danger
  • How to identify a house sparrow and the difference between males and females
  • A house sparrow’s diet, where they nest, and how they look after their young
  • Creating our own recycled carton bird feeder for the garden
  • Why house sparrows are important and ways that we can help them
  • Bird-friendly plants and how to attract house sparrows into our gardens

Please note:

  • Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
  • Where stores are running multiple sessions it is the same workshop delivered at each one
