Lesson progress:

I organizational moment.

Hello guys! How cheerful and cheerful!

Oh, and our sun sleeps.

Let's wake him up with a joke:

Stand next to each other

Like a month, in a semicircle.

The sun is clear, show yourself (Hands outstretched forward.)

The sun is red, dress up.

Put on a scarlet dress, (The girls take up the skirt,

boys - hands on the belt.)

Give us a red day. (Clap hands.)

(Turn over the sun).

The sun woke up. It's warm outside. Spring has come to us.

II part.

List the signs of spring. (The sun warms in the spring. Melts appear. Snow melts and streams run. Drops begin. Birds fly in. Insects appear.)

What birds come from the south? (nightingales, rooks, cuckoos, starlings, swallows, ducks.)

Let's take our seats to the wonderful singing of birds.

(Turn on music).

IIIpart.

With the advent of spring, our feathered friends return. Who are called feathered friends? Why? (Feathered, because the body of birds is covered with feathers. And friends, because birds eat harmful insects, birds sing songs and delight us with them.)

Who guessed what we are going to talk about today? (About migratory birds).

Guys, we have a guest today. This is Kesha's parrot. He lives far, far beyond the seas and really wants to know about migratory birds that return to our area in the spring. Shall we tell Kesha about migratory birds? (Yes).

Who can explain why the birds that fly to us are called migratory? (These are migratory birds - in the fall they fly to warmer climes, and in the spring they return home again. That is why they are called migratory birds). What can you tell about migratory birds?

1. The name of the bird, which is the largest.

2. What are her wings, tail, beak in color.

3. What is the torso covered with.

4. How to sing.

5. What does it eat.

6. How does it move.

7. Where does he live.

8. When the chicks appear).

And the scheme will help to tell about the bird.

Draftingstories about migratory birds.

I suggest you introduce Kesha to some migratory birds. But first you need to solve the riddles.

(I show a presentation with images and voices of migratory birds. Children talk about familiar birds based on pictures.)

1. Who is without notes and without flute

Who is this? ... (Nightingale.)

Who wants to talk about the nightingale?

Nightingale- a small bird, has a brown plumage, a small beak, tail and paws. The body is covered with feathers. The nightingale sings very beautifully. Nightingales mainly eat various insects, spiders, earthworms, and berries as food. The nightingale flies well. Leads a secretive lifestyle and rarely catches the eye, avoiding a person. Nightingales - parents begin to build nests, choosing for them a place on the ground among a dense shrub with a layer of dry leaves or in a fork of branches, but also above the ground. This is a migratory bird.

What a wonderful story about the nightingale! The story is full, interesting, interesting words are used. I'm glad you made a great story!

2. Who flies to us with warmth,

The path has been long.

Sculpts a house under the window

From grass and clay (Swallow).

Martin- a very beautiful bird with black sharp wings, a white chest and a tail with a fork. The paws of swallows are weak, so they never walk on the ground. Swallows sing, their song is unpretentious, but pleasant to the ear. Swallows feed exclusively on insects. They spend almost all their lives in the air - in flight. The swallow builds her house on the roof or on the slopes of rivers from lumps of clay, connecting them with saliva. The chicks appear in the spring. This is a migratory bird.

3. Blacker than all migratory birds,

Cleans arable land from worms. (Rook)

Rook- a large black bird that looks like a crow. He has a shiny black plumage, a large beak, small black eyes. The body is covered with feathers. Rooks scream-kra-kra. Rooks feed on a variety of foods: they eat earthworms and various insects and their larvae. They fly well. Rooks make nests on tall trees from different twigs and branches. There they lay their eggs and hatch chicks in the spring. This is a migratory bird.

4. There is a palace on the tree

The singer lives in the palace

He doesn't bark, he doesn't bite,

Protects the fruit garden. ( Starling).

5. This bird never

Doesn't nest for chicks. (Cuckoo)

Cuckoo- a small bird, but larger than a nightingale, has a variegated color, a long tail, a small beak, the body is covered with feathers. The cuckoo is chirping. They eat a lot of insects and caterpillars that feed on tree leaves during the day. She flies well. The cuckoo, unlike other birds, never builds a nest, and lays its eggs in other people's nests, so the birds are forced to breed and raise cuckoo chicks. This is a migratory bird.

6. A motley quack catches frogs.
He walks around, stumbling. (Duck)

ducks come in flocks. They are similar to our domestic ducks. They are grey-brown. The body is covered with feathers. They make sounds-quack-quack, quack. Ducks are waterfowl and in the warm season they themselves get their own food in ponds. Ponds, rice fields. They feed in shallow water and rarely dive. They fly and swim. Ducks make their nests in dense thickets of reeds. This is a migratory bird.

- What did we tell Kesha about migratory birds? (Why birds are called migratory, which birds arrive in spring, got acquainted with appearance birds).

Birds are small . (Wave your arms like wings.)

The birds are flying

Tired do not know.

The birds sat on the path (Sit down, turning around to face in a circle.)

Little birds pecked: (Knock index fingers like beaks on the floor.)

"Klu-klyu-klyu - let's peck,

Then we'll sing a song." (Stand facing the circle.)

Crane

In the spring, cranes returned to their native swamp from warm countries. How nice to be home! The sun warms, juicy swamp grasses turn green. The cranes rested a little after a long flight, looked around, walked on high legs, as if on stilts, through the swamp and began to search, lowering their long beak into the swamp water, for worms, bugs, frogs and tadpoles. There is something to feed the cranes among the swamps, there are secluded places in dense thickets of reeds and sedges where you can make a nest.

Long legs and a beak help cranes adapt to life among bogs and swampy hummocks. The plumage of the crane is silver-gray, on the head there is a dark cap, decorated with a red speck. The wings of these birds are large, strong, edged with dark feathers.

In Siberia, in the swamps, you can see the white crane - the Siberian Crane. He is very beautiful - snow-white, with a red forehead and beak, black legs and black stripes at the ends of the wings. This rare bird is listed in the Red Book.

In spring, cranes arrange games and dances. Cranes dance both in pairs and in the whole flock. The crane approaches the crane, stands in front of it and bows, nods its head, inviting to dance. The crane interrupts the hunt for frogs, and the dance begins: the cranes jump, squat, move their legs, flap their wings. At first the birds dance slowly, and then faster and faster. Soon a flock of cranes gathers from all over the swamp, the birds form a circle around the dancing couple, and then, unable to resist, they themselves start a merry dance. “Apparently, dancing has the same contagious effect on cranes as laughter does on us,” noted one zoologist.

Young cranes in the "dance school" do not learn, barely born, on the fifth or sixth day of age they boldly perform complex pirouettes, jumping high, bowing and throwing up various small objects. But the time comes for these carefree birds to start building a nest. Cranes build their nest on the ground among bushes and grasses. Soon there will be one or three large eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs, and a month later the eggs hatch. Having barely dried, they follow their parents, on the very first day they swim well, and after two months they “stand on the wing” and are ready to make a long flight.

When berries ripen in the swamps - cranberries, cloudberries, lingonberries and blueberries - cranes nibble them with pleasure, love to feast on the juicy stems of young sedge and seeds of various herbs.

In the second half of September, the nights become longer and colder, and thick, damp fogs creep in in the mornings. The sonorous chirping of cranes spreads over the swamps at dawn, the birds gather in flocks, preparing to fly to hot countries.

Cranes

High in the blue distance

Cranes are flying over the ground.

They fly, they whine,

We are called after ourselves

As if to say:

- Fly with us!

Behind the dark forests

Beyond the blue seas

There are warm edges;

There in the green of the valley.

We pass the winter

And in early spring

Let's go back to our native land!

Cuckoo

Boiling work in spring forest: pichugs drag twigs, dry blades of grass, pieces of moss in their beaks - they build nests, cover them with fluff and feathers, and prepare for the appearance of chicks. Only the cuckoo does not build a nest! She perched on a bough at the top of a tall aspen and attentively, patiently looks out for where the birds make their homes.

When a caring, hard-working bird flies away from the nest for a short while, the cuckoo is right there! He will immediately put his testicle in someone else's cozy house, and the master's one will be carried away in his beak and thrown away.

Cuckoos do not lay their eggs in the nests of which only birds: in the forest towers of redstarts, wagtails, warblers, wrens, flycatchers, woodpeckers in the hollows and even in the nest of a marsh bird - sandpiper. But all birds have different eggs. They differ in color and size. How can gullible birds not notice a tossed egg? Very simple! From year to year, the cuckoo throws eggs to birds of the same species. There are “redstart” cuckoos, whose eggs are similar in color to redstart testicles, there are “wagtail” cuckoos - their eggs are difficult to distinguish from wagtail eggs, and the cuckoo eggs are small in size, the same as those of small forest birds.

Well, what about the cuckoo, if the bird, incubating its eggs, does not fly anywhere from the nest?

Then the cuckoo resorts to cunning, taking advantage of the resemblance to a predatory hawk, which the forest birds are afraid of. The cuckoo is almost the same color and the same size as the hawk, and it flies similarly.

When defenseless birds notice the silhouette of a descending "predator" above them, they fly out of green shelters with a squeak. That's all the cuckoo needs! She immediately lays her eggs in their nests. The male helps her by diverting the attention of small birds. They worry, they attack him, but the cunning one does not even think of flying away.

After 11 days, the cuckoo pecks out of the shell. “Having dried a little, the newborn starts hard work - you need to throw extra eaters out of the nest. The little cuckoo carefully crawls under its neighbor in the house, throws him on his back and carries him to the edge of the nest. A jerk - and the victim flies overboard! (I. Akimushkin). In the first weeks of life, the cuckoo has a small depression on its back, with the help of which it throws out its stepbrothers, then it disappears.

So the chick was left alone in the nest, now only he will get all the food that the foster parents will bring, because he is very voracious and grows like in a fairy tale: not by the day, but by the hour!

And what about the mother cuckoo? Our forest cuckoos, having saved themselves from parental troubles, never visit their children.

In the spring, a voiced "cuckoo" is heard far away in the forest. This is a cuckoo chirping.

Cuckoo

You hear "coo-coo".

There are birches, maples,

Come on kids

For a walk in the forest.

Almost everyone heard the song of the cuckoo, but not everyone could see this bird with brownish-gray plumage, because they usually hide on the top of a tall tree, in dense green branches.

The main food of cuckoos is insects, but sometimes they can also peck at sweet forest berries.

Although cuckoos are careless parents, they bring great benefits to our forests, because these birds destroy hairy caterpillars that other birds do not touch. And hairy caterpillars, especially silkworm caterpillars, are dangerous enemies of the forest: they eat the leaves, stems and buds of plants, and the forest can dry out.

In the middle of summer, in July, the birds fly away to hot Africa. Young cuckoos arrive there later.

Swan

Do you remember the fairy tale of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin “About Tsar Saltan, about his glorious and mighty son Gvidon Saltanovich and about the beautiful Princess Swan”?

In this tale, a snow-white swan, bewitched by an evil sorcerer-sorcerer, turns into a beautiful princess:

Here she flaps her wings

Flew over the waves

And to the shore from above

Dropped into the bushes.

Startled, shaken off

And the princess turned around:

The moon shines under the scythe,

And in the forehead a star burns ...

The swan is a beautiful, proud bird, therefore, in fairy tales, songs, poems beautiful girl compared to a white swan. They say that she has "a swan's neck, a peacock's gait." The plumage of swans is dazzling white. When a swan flows, it slightly raises its wings, and they “swell with snow-white sails on the sides of a living boat” (I. Akimushkin). The beak of the swan is red, on the paws of the membrane to make it easier to swim.

Pale sky.

white-winged swan

Floats slowly.

This beauty?

In the mornings, swans bathe, splash their wings on the water, raising fountains of spray, washing every feather and the skin underneath. Having bathed, the birds get ashore, wring out feathers with their beaks, and then shake them off for a long time. Having dried a little, the swans smear their feathers with fat. This is no easy matter! A swan has 25,000 feathers! Well lubricated feathers hold a lot of air and help the birds float on the water.

Swans usually feed on green grasses, leaves and stems of plants, but sometimes they can also eat small aquatic animals.

Swans build their nests near the water, in dense thickets of grasses, and cover them with fluff. In the spring, chicks appear in a friendly swan family. There are five or six eggs in the nest, all chicks are born at the same time. When the chicks are dry, hiding under the fluffy wing of the mother, and their warm thick fluff is heavily saturated with the grease of her feathers, the swan leads the babies to the river or lake, helping the babies walking on fragile legs to get to the reservoir. “Follow your mother everywhere” is the main commandment, and the chicks strictly follow it and diligently repeat everything that the mother does. The kids follow her fearlessly into the water. From the first day they swim, dive, feed themselves on leaves and grass.

And two months later, young swans "stand on the wing" - they learn to fly in the sky *. No wonder the proverb says: "A swan in the sky, a moth above the earth - to each his own way."

Swans stay in our area for a long time. Beautiful birds fly south when the reservoirs are covered with a crust of ice, and in the spring they return to their native places again.

Starling

Early spring. The sun is warming, the first thawed patches have already appeared on the hillocks and slopes of the ravines. Streams run along the roadsides, dazzlingly sparkling in the sun. At this time, the heralds of spring, the starlings, return to their native lands from distant overseas countries.

Starling - large, beautiful bird with shiny black plumage. It has a straight long beak, black in the female and bright yellow in the male. The beak helps the starling to extract worms from the ground.

Arriving home, starlings sit on branches near their birdhouses and joyfully, loudly sing, welcoming their native forests, meadows and fields.

Starlings

Starlings have arrived -

Young spring messengers.

Worms they peck

And sing, sing, sing!

The song of the starling is beautiful, sonorous, he often imitates the voices of other birds. In his singing, you can hear the trills of the lark, and the cry of the oriole, and the chirping of the swallow. For a whole week, the starling sings songs, forgetting about everything in the world.

When a starling arrives from distant countries, a friendly couple begins to build a nest. It happens that sparrows settled in a birdhouse chosen by birds in winter. Then the starlings ask them to leave. They bring twigs and dry blades of grass into the freed birdhouse, cover the nest with feathers and down.

Soon, smooth greenish-blue eggs appear in the nest, and after two weeks, starlings hatch from them. Day by day, parents fly to meadows, fields and gardens, looking for food for chicks - worms, snails, slugs and insects.

At the beginning of June, curious starlings look out of the round window of the birdhouse and study with interest what has opened up to them. wonderful world. And everything is blooming all around, butterflies are fluttering, bumblebees and bees are buzzing. But little starlings do not have the courage to fly out of the nest. Mother-starling begins to lure the kids out of the house. She brings an appetizing worm in her beak, sits on a perch near the window and shows a delicacy to a starling. The chick pulls its beak for a treat, and the mother moves away from him. The little bird, clinging to the window with its paws, leans out, outweighs and flies down. He screams in fright, but at that moment the wings open, support the chick, and he lands on his paws. Mother, to cheer up the starling, treats him with a worm.

Soon, in a secluded corner of the forest, where there are a lot of midges, worms, larvae, a starling school opens. Adult starlings teach babies to dig worms out of the ground, escape from cold dew and rain, choose the right place to spend the night, and recognize the danger signal.

By autumn, starlings gather in flocks, preparing to fly to hot Africa.

Nightingale

Nightingale

In the green of the branches

nightingale nightingale

All night long

He sings songs to us.

Songs flow endlessly

There is no better singer in the forest!

May has come. The leaves on the trees and shrubs have become stronger, opened up, and a bright drop of dew or rain can hold on to them without rolling down. People say: “Nightingales then fly to our region when they can get drunk from a birch leaf.”

On the banks of rivers and ravines fragrant curls of bird cherry curled, willow and alder fluffed out. In dense green thickets, forest singers - nightingales - fill in: “Fitchurr-fi-tchurr-fi-tchurr-tuy-lit, tuy-lit-cho-chocho-cho-cho-trrrts!” They chirp, whistle, clatter, bewitching with their singing. No one in the forest sings better than a nightingale!

"The nightingale has magical singing, and modest plumage." From above it is painted in dark chestnut color with a darker shade on the back, the plumage is light gray below, the breast and neck are white, and the tail is reddish-brown. There is not a single bright spot in his plumage.

In dense thickets of willow and alder, along the slopes of deep ravines, where icy springs beat, nightingales make nests and hatch chicks. At the end of May, four to six greenish-gray eggs appear in the nightingale's nest. The female incubates them for two weeks. To feed, she flies out of the nest for a short time, then sits down on the masonry again. When chicks appear, nightingales feed them with caterpillars, larvae and worms.

At the end of August, nightingales gather in small flocks. At this time, berries ripen in the forests, and birds eat them with pleasure, they especially like elderberries. In early September, birds fly to warmer climes.

Wagtail

When you walk along a forest path, still not completely dry after the May rain, you can see how ahead, merrily shaking its long tail, a cheerful, pretty wagtail minces with quick steps. On the move, she deftly grabs midges and mosquitoes with her beak, without fear of a person.

The wagtail is slender and graceful. The back and sides are gray, the abdomen is white, the upper part of the breast, tail and wings are black, shiny, decorated with white feathers along the edges. What a fashionista!

Wagtail

Wagtail, wagtail -

Striped blouse!

I've been waiting for you all winter.

Settle in my garden

And behind the carved shutter

Make your nest in the spring.

The wagtail arrives in our area in early spring, when there is still ice on the rivers and lakes. The people call the wagtail an icebreaker: the bird runs along the ice floes, looks for bugs frozen into the ice, shakes its tail - “the ice breaks”. Wagtails usually build their nests in bushes along the banks of rivers and streams. After all, near the water it is easier for them to get food for themselves and the chicks. Mosquitoes, moths, midges, butterflies, beetles are the favorite food of wagtails.

The nest of the wagtail is made of straws and thin twigs, covered with fluff. Usually there are five or six eggs in the nest, painted with gray dots.

Two weeks later, chicks hatch from eggs, which parents feed midges and mosquitoes. When the chicks grow up, together with the wagtail mother, they

walk along the sandy spit by the river. The mother vigilantly monitors the babies and does not forget to feed them.

The wagtail is an agile and brave bird. Noticing a hawk in the sky, she shouts loudly and anxiously: “Qizi! Chi-chi!” Other wagtails flock to the cry. Friendly birds drive away the hawk.

At the end of summer it gets colder, insects hide, and wagtails, uniting in small flocks, fly to Africa and South Asia.

Duck

In spring, on the bank of the river, in dense thickets of reeds and sedges, the gray duck has made its nest. A secluded place for him was chosen by the father-drake, and the mother-duck laid a soft feather bed of fluff and feathers on the bottom of the nest.

The duck lays ten eggs, carefully incubates them, leaving for a very short time to eat juicy marsh grasses, green duckweed and various water trifles - bugs, worms and larvae. The drake swims along the river not far from the nest, protecting it from uninvited guests.

When a duck sits motionless on a clutch of eggs, it is not so easy to notice it: a modest gray-brown plumage merges with the surrounding nature - last year's dry reed stalks, greenish-brown roots and leaves of marsh and river grasses.

The coloring of the drake is bright and elegant. The blue-green neck and tips of the feathers shimmer with mother-of-pearl, and the wings and tail are decorated with white and dark brown stripes.

Three weeks later, ducklings appear in the nest, looking like small fluffy lumps. Having dried under the warm mother's wing, they run after the duck to the river, boldly enter the water, swim and dive with pleasure.

The duck teaches kids to find food, hide from enemies. The ducklings do not leave their mother a single step, they follow her everywhere, because the main rule of the duck school is: swim next to their mother, repeat everything she does.

Every morning, the duck family takes water procedures: it dives and splashes, raising splashes sparkling in the sun. Then, having climbed out onto the sandbar, the ducks shake themselves off and diligently grease each with a feather.

Why do ducks take such baths?

After all, and so most of the time these birds spend in the water. It turns out that bathing is very necessary.

“A duck that has not bathed for several days, has not cared for its plumage, if it is immediately put into the water, can ... drown.

And if you do not drown, then it will be bad to swim, with the body almost submerged in water. So, with dirty feathers, birds can neither fly nor swim. What's the matter?

The thinnest feather bristles stick together and break without water.

After bathing, the ducks smear their feathers with oil from the coccygeal gland, because a well-oiled feather, as it were, inflates with air and greatly helps the birds swim and fly ”(I. Akimushkin).

In autumn, when the duckweed sinks to the bottom and the water in the river becomes colder, ducks break into pairs.

Drakes and ducks swim towards each other, drink water and bow, as if saying: “Hello! Nice to meet you!" The duck chooses a drake to his liking and often remains his faithful friend all his life.

Ducks are the last to fly out of our lands, because until the ponds, rivers and lakes freeze, they have something to feed on.

In Moscow and the Moscow region, they often overwinter on non-freezing water bodies.

Tale of the Crooked Duck

(based on a Russian folk tale)

Saying

Down the river like a little boat

I will postpone work, I will put a rake

To the trunk of a willow, bent over the water,

And I'll wander, boat, for you.

I lead a semicircular mine.

The water is sad under the scales of the duckweed,

About the gray duck curve

I remember the words of an old fairy tale.

Where the dome of the ancient church darkens,

In the old days there was a village.

Shaky footbridges ran down to the water,

Old people lived in a poor hut.

An old man once caulked a boat

And he returned in the evening with a find:

Trusting, warm, lively

Brought the old woman a crooked duck.

That was the joy of the old people!

The old woman, without hesitation for a long time,

Made a nest of scraps

And put the duck in the purse.

The next morning the old people left the house

Stack straw in the far field.

And the duck turned into a youth,

Went to the well for water

And baked ruddy pies,

And began to wait for the arrival of the old people.

In the evening the old people came to the village.

We entered the hut - clean in it, light,

Rugs spread all over the place

Washed and cleaned dishes

Tongs, cast iron stand still,

And it smells like sweet pastry.

The old man crossed himself on the icons

And he whispered to the old woman: “God is with us!”

Thank the one who helped us.

The old woman began bowing low.

Then she went to the talkative neighbor.

That secret of the duck was immediately revealed to her:

- I saw, crooked young woman

Went with a yoke for water.

The old woman lit the stove in the morning

And hid with the old man in the closet:

- How to throw off the feathers, so immediately burn them,

Then she'll have to stay with us!

The young woman returned to the hut

And immediately gray feathers missed,

Lamented, went out on the porch,

Raised her tear-stained face

To the gray sky The clouds darkened

Geese-swans flew over the river.

The young woman begged:

- Sisters, brothers,

Give me just one feather!

But fast, high they flew

And she did not have time to throw her feathers.

Suddenly a young woman sees: above the barn

Flying alone, straying from the flock,

The plucked duckling is seedy,

It flies and flaps its wings wearily.

And like snow covered the trees:

Fell, swirling bird feathers.

She put them together in one minute

And then she turned back again.

I dived from the bridges, hid in the reeds

Water splashed somewhere in the distance ...

In vain at sunset the old men

We walked along the path by the river:

They beckoned a duck, threw crumbs of bread -

The nest-bast basket remained empty ...

Swim, swim, golden leaf,

Driftwood, river pools bending around.

I thought the duck was crooked

Flickered in the backwater among the dry grass.

Perhaps she will return to the old people

And again she will turn into a young woman,

And he will become like a dear daughter -

Caring duck curve.

Rook

The rook is a rather large migratory bird, the plumage of which is almost black, shimmering with purple.

Rooks arrive in our area in early spring. No wonder the proverb says: "If the rook is on the mountain, then spring is in the yard."

Arriving, the rooks stay in small flocks. They like to roam the plowed fields prepared for sowing and look for beetles, worms and larvae in the soft, moist earth.

When spring finally comes into its own, it becomes brighter every day, and the sun warms the meadows and fields warmer, the rooks start building a nest. They lay their eggs in a ready nest, and when the chicks hatch from them, the parents carefully feed them with worms, mosquitoes, and flies.

Rooks walk in the fields:

They brought spring.

These birds know for sure:

Sunny days coming soon.

The icicles have broken

And floated down the river

And the earrings fell apart

On aspen and alder.

The willows are softly golden,

Brightened their trunks,

On the pine they shine beautifully

Drops of large resin.

Thrushes are migratory birds. They have an elongated, slender body, a straight beak of medium length, high legs and pointed wings. The plumage of all birds (except the blackbird) is almost the same: pale coffee with characteristic dark brown triangular spots. Thrushes have excellent eyesight and hearing. All thrushes are good flyers. They are very mobile, dexterous, cautious and distrustful birds. The fieldfare thrush is very sociable and likes to settle in whole colonies. Other species, such as songbird and blackbird, on the contrary, prefer to live in solitude.

Where do thrushes live? They live in Europe, Asia, America.

Blackbirds, thrushes and fieldfares live in Russia, there are black and song thrushes.

The red bream is painted in light colors. He prefers sunny undergrowth, young birch forests. You will not meet these birds in the dense forests. They make nests close to the ground. The female lays 3 to 6 eggs. After 10-12 days, the chicks leave their home and look for their own food: insects, small worms. Whitebrows make such sounds: “Chi-fli-sin, qi-fli-sin!”

Deryaba is a type of thrush. It is larger than the whitebrown, painted in a gray-brown color. Mistletoe live in light forests, parks, and fly to Europe for the winter.

Fieldfare has chosen Europe for life, it is also found in Siberia. Usually fieldfare gather in flocks of 30-40 pairs. They settle in parks, copses, on the edges of forests. These birds are called fieldfares because they like to treat themselves to mountain ash, viburnum, sea buckthorn berries.

Finally, one of the most common thrushes in Russia is the blackbird. It is half the size of a jackdaw, but twice the size of a sparrow.

What does a blackbird look like? The color of its plumage is matte black. The beak is bright orange-yellow. He has yellow rings around his eyes.

Blackbirds sing in the morning and in the evening: “So-so, chick-chick!” They live in coniferous and mixed forests with undergrowth, in abandoned gardens, parks.

The blackbird's nest is like a cup. Birds build it in the dense branches of firs, on birches, lindens. Sometimes the nest is located near the ground. Blackbirds, like other species, are omnivores. They eat insects, plant seeds, rowan berries, viburnum, sea buckthorn.

Mixed forests, but with a predominance of young and dense spruce thickets, serve as favorite places for the settlement and nesting of thrushes. Eggs (there are 4-6 of them, pale blue with green speckles) are laid by blackbirds in May-June. On the 13th or 14th day of incubation, chicks hatch from the testicles. All thrushes feed on insects, worms and terrestrial mollusks. In autumn and winter, thrushes very willingly feed on mountain ash and other wild berries.

Let the leaves fall from the branches

Rustling autumn rain.

Thrush pecks rowan brush -

You won't find better berries!

lark

Between heaven and earth

The song resounds

continuous stream,

What is pouring so loudly.

Do not see the singer of the fields,

Louder, louder.

From under your grass

Lark song.

The lark is a songbird of the passerine order.

What does a lark look like? He looks like a sparrow. The color of the lark is gray-brown, yellowish. The back of this bird is gray, the plumage of the abdomen is white, the breast is brown, a small crest flaunts on the head of the lark, and the tail is bordered by white feathers. This coloration is called protective. In dense green and yellow-green grasses, the lark is difficult to spot.

Where do larks usually live, you know? I will tell you. They choose open hilly pastures or slightly marshy plains for life.

The lark is a migratory bird. It arrives in our area in early spring. The fields have not yet turned green, the insects have not yet awakened, and the larks in the blue sky are already fluttering their wings and singing joyfully. Their song is like a trill, then the ringing of bells.

What do larks eat in this early spring time? They look for insect larvae on the thawed patches, choose last year's seeds from the furrows in the fields.

In the old days in Russia it was a custom to mold larks from dough. In the spring, the children went out to the meadow and sang Russian folk songs-chants - simple and sonorous.

Here are the words to those songs.

Song one

Oh you larks

Skylarks!

Fly into the field

Bring Health:

The first is cow

The second is sheep

The third is human!

Second song

Larks, larks!

Fly to us

Bring us summer warm.

Take the cold winter away from us.

We are tired of winter frosts.

Hands, feet frostbitten.

Children led round dances, sang songs, then treated themselves to birds baked in the oven.

Larks often settle near water, near small rivers and streams.

Female larks are smaller than males and do not sing songs. Arriving, they look for a warm place for a nest. Larks use their beaks to dig a nest hole in the soft, damp ground. Then they warm it with feathers, down, soft blades of grass.

The female sits on the eggs for about two weeks. Larks usually lay 4 to 6 eggs. After 10 days, the chicks leave the nest, looking for food themselves.

What do larks eat? Plants, cereal seeds. They like to treat themselves to wheat, oats. They eat beetles, spiders, larvae. They drink pure dew from flowers and herbs, like sparrows, they love to bathe in dust.

Above the field

Larks, larks,

Fly over the field.

Larks, larks,

Bring us joy.

To have a lot of bread

Bring blue skies.

Sing wonderful songs

Yes, emerald herbs!

bluebell lark

It rings like a bell

He calls, does not get tired.

Sing all day, sing

Spring bell.

It's you, lark!

Larks can imitate other birds as well. In their song you will hear trills, and the ringing of bells, and the chirping of sparrows. Larks are sometimes kept in cages. They are difficult to keep, they need care, love, proper food. In a cage, a lark can live up to 10 years.

In nature, larks have many enemies: this is a falcon, a ferret, a weasel, an ermine, crows, mice, hawks, and even snakes.

The only thing that saves the lark is that from a height of 500 m it falls like a stone into the grass and hides between the stems.

Listen to how the remarkable journalist, writer, nature connoisseur Vasily Peskov described the lark: “It’s a joy to lean on the edge of a warm pine tree some day in early April on the edge of the forest. No longer over a thawed patch, but over a strip of dark earth, in a stream of upward heat, a lark hangs and its bell rings over a warming meadow.

Let spring return to our land

Larks, larks,

Come visit us soon!

Bring, larks,

Summer is warmer

Carry away the terrible winter,

Frosty winter.

You fly over the fields

Have fun kids.

Let the grass turn green

The sky turns bright blue.

Let spring return to our land,

Let her smile at us!

Larks fly away from our lands in late autumn. They gather in flocks of 5-7 birds. They fly through the fields, pick up ears of corn.

When it gets cool in autumn, larks fly away to warmer places, to the south, so that in early spring they again hang over the fields in silvery streams and sing their wonderful songs.

The swallow is a small beautiful migratory bird, swift in flight, with long pointed wings. In the people, she is affectionately called "kasatochka".

The swift-winged swallows arrive with the onset of warm spring days and immediately start building nests. To build her house, the swallow needs wet clay, animal hairs, feathers from other birds, straws and blades of grass.

Having collected enough material, the birds sculpt bowl houses, holding straws, wool and clay together with their saliva. Swallows attach their nests to the eaves of houses, under roofs and balconies.

With the appearance of chicks hatched from eggs in the nest, caring parents bring them food: midges, mosquitoes, flying to the nest about a thousand times a day!

After about a month, the chicks leave their native nest and, like adult birds, merrily rush in the sky after their parents, grabbing midges, mosquitoes and other insects on the fly.

little swallow,

Come soon!

We are affectionate with you

It will become more fun.

Oh you fast-winged

Our chatter!

Delicate, beautiful.

Your house is like a bowl.
