How We Help the Birds

In the winter time it is very cold.
The snow often covers the ground.
Then it is very hard for the birds to find food.
We can help the winter birds by giving them crumbs.
It is fun to do this.
Sometimes we may throw crumbs on the sidewalk.
At other times we put them on the window sill.
The birds always find the crumbs.
You may be sure that they eat them, too.
In the summer time it is often hot and dry.
The birds are warm and thirsty.
So, to help them we put water into a pan.
Then the birds find water to drink.
Sometimes they bathe in the water.
They splash around and have a good time.
We can help the birds both in summer and in winter.
In winter we should give the birds some crumbs to eat.
In summer we should give them water.
