Our goal with Chickadee Landing is to offer a hands-on experience with nature that allows students to witness bird behavior up close. Chickadees are small, resident songbirds that exhibit fascinating behavior and can be acclimated to being around humans if offered a food source. We will be providing 6 new benches for student seating along with 18 people cutouts that will help get our resident birds accustomed to humans. In the center of Chickadee Landing, a variety of bird feeders on hooks with black oil sunflower seed will be offered. Teachers from Bryn Mawr, Anwatin and Minneapolis Nature Preschool can bring their classes out to observe the birds. Students can offer the birds food by placing sunflower seeds on their hands and heads (if they’d like) to see if they can get a chickadee to land and eat.
