World Turtle Day

Hi Readers,

Did you know that May 23 is World Turtle Day? This special day was started by the American Tortoise Rescue group to raise awareness about turtles and tortoises and to help protect them and their habitats.

To shell-ibrate this special day, here’s a video of a turtle I met a few weeks ago! How cute is this guy?

Happy World Turtle Day, everyone!

Save the Birds

Sometimes birds can’t see windows of buildings and they accidentally fly into them and get injured. Help keep birds safe by making decals that you can put on your windows. When birds see decals they know that they know that there is a window there that they can’t fly through.

You’ll need:

• puffy fabric paint
• plastic lid

How to make:

1. Use the fabric paint to draw pictures on the plastic lid – they can be of birds, flowers, anything you want.
2. Let the paint dry for one day and then carefully peel the decals off the plastic lid.
3. Stick the decals to the inside of your window, a few inches apart so the birds see them.

Here’s a helpful video of this craft being made:

To learn more about birds, be sure to check out the May issue of Chirp magazine!
