Lesson notes on the world around us in the middle group. Meet the canary. Presentation on the topic of decorative, songbirds and wintering birds

Ornamental birds are one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth that can bring happiness and joy to your home!

They can fly gracefully, delighting huge numbers of people. The world could not be so beautiful if it were not for the representatives of birds, each of which is unique in its own way. They amazed the ancient representatives of the planet with their ability to fly, while people could only dream about it; they were deified by many peoples of antiquity. They forced us to make scientific discoveries and strive for development: thanks to them, airplanes and helicopters appeared. The article can help you get acquainted with ornamental birds (middle group of kindergarten). It can be carried out according to plan. To help children understand the topic and remember it for a long time, it is recommended to show them photographs of birds. You can also connect another type of memory. To do this, you can arrange exhibitions of ornamental birds.

The appearance of decorative birds in the homes of ancient inhabitants

Domestic decorative birds appeared in ancient times: people wanted their homes to have some zest, to have fun and hear wonderful melodies all the time. That's why they put them in cages. And so, gradually, some species of birds were able to get used to being kept in captivity. But not all of them were able to become domesticated: mainly only bright and melodious ornamental birds - the canary and the parrot - were domesticated. In ancient times, only noble people could afford to keep birds in captivity, while the common people simply did not have enough time for this. And in the modern world, decorative birds live in almost every home: they have filled the lives of millions of people around the world with their colors.

If you want to get yourself a feathered pet, then you shouldn’t rush to make a choice: you need to take this very seriously, because then life with the wrong pet can become torture not only for you, but also for the animal itself.

Ornamental birds: selection and care for them

• Allergenicity. Find out in advance if you are allergic to a certain type of bird. This can be done in special laboratories for a fee. The verification will take about a week. Only after this do you start choosing a bird for your home.
• Time that you can devote to the animal. This factor is important when choosing a bird. After all, if you cannot pay enough attention, the animal may simply die. This can happen not only from lack of care, but from lack of attention. Some birds are unable to live alone even for a few days: they die from boredom. Therefore, if you know that you will often have to leave your pet alone for a long period, then buy several birds at once: then you can leave them together even for a week, provided that someone will look after them all this time.
• Lifespan. This factor is also worth taking into account. Some birds live only 5-7 years. And there are those who live 100 years. Also keep in mind that you may get tired of caring for an animal: you don’t know what might happen in 15-20 years. That is why take this factor into account when choosing a feathered friend. If in the future you want to give it, for example, to friends, then this will be a big shock and a stressful situation for the bird.

The most famous and popular birds that can be kept at home

There are a huge number of bird species on the planet that can be kept outside the will. The following describes the most popular representatives of ornamental birds.

Finches

Finches live in the wild in the tropics. They have a specific bright color. This attracts the attention of a huge number of bird breeders. The birds look quite impressive and exotic. The birds are also quite active and funny. They are easily tamed and, with proper care, can become good friends for anyone. It can also be noted that finches do not sing very beautifully - and this is their biggest disadvantage. Their singing sounds like some kind of whistling or even hissing. But finches easily compensate for this deficiency with their friendliness and trust in humans. Otherwise, these birds have only positive qualities. There is a Japanese These birds are a more domesticated “version”.

One of the main advantages of Japanese finches is their cleanliness: they litter little and the cage cannot be cleaned very often.

Blackbirds

Some species of blackbirds, finches, goldfinches, pigeons, siskins and jays are also ornamental birds that can be kept outside the wild, no matter how paradoxical this may sound, considering that these bird representatives can be seen on the street every day.

It is quite problematic to keep blackbirds at home: they require constant care. Among their advantages is their unique singing. They can only be kept in a large space in sunlight; the enclosure (cage) must have a place for swimming. Many breeders, despite the huge number of difficulties that arise during the care process, still keep these ornamental birds in their homes.

Finches

Finches can also sometimes be kept at home. These small birds have bright, catchy plumage, which is why they have gained such great popularity among breeders.

It is not very easy to distinguish between a male and a female, so when purchasing a bird, pay special attention to this point. Female finches do not sing, but the males produce such beautiful melodies that the lack of a female may not even be noticed if you buy two birds.

Goldfinches

Goldfinches are quite bright birds with beautiful elegant plumage. Their voice is very melodic.

Goldfinches are very active birds. They are well tamed, but not all of them: there are quite aggressive individuals, but this is rare; in general, most birds are friendly.

These birds cannot be kept in the same cage with other species. Males sing better than females.

Siskins

Siskins are calm and easy-to-care ornamental birds. They are very popular due to their ability to copy the songs of other birds. They can be kept together with other birds in the same cage (aviary).

jays

Jays, in addition to their bright plumage, also have one very incredible quality: they can imitate any sounds they have ever heard.

Birds are not very demanding in terms of nutrition and care; they can eat regular feed mixtures. It is recommended to buy a small chick rather than an adult bird because it will be much easier to tame.

Pigeons

Pigeons are also decorative birds. In the modern world there are about 850 breeds of this bird species.

Pigeons do not shine with their musical talent - they “take” breeders with their unique appearance. You cannot keep pigeons without company, otherwise they may die.

Canaries and parrots

The most popular birds kept in captivity are parrots and canaries. They are easy to care for and can be kept in small cages with timely walking. Female canaries, like parrots, are not capable of learning speech. But there are still exceptions: if you first buy a male, teach him to speak, and only then a young female, then there is a chance that she will also be able to learn to speak. There should always be two things in the cage: food and water. The latter must be changed every day.

This should be done even if you have an automatic waterer. The food is changed if necessary. You should not leave a parrot or canary alone for more than a day, otherwise it may die. This can only be done if you have several birds living with you: they will be able to communicate with each other and they will not feel depressed. But you will need to find a person who can change water and food every day and clean the cages if necessary.

To make the lesson more visual, use photographs, pictures, and also ask the children to describe what living ornamental birds look like. Any child will enjoy the lesson in the middle group if it is carried out according to the plan of the article.

Educator:

Children, what did you hear just now? (children's answers). That's right kids, this is the singing of birds and parrots.

Educator: Children, do you want to learn even more about parrots?

Let us take a look at this bird.

What parts does a bird's body consist of? - Head, body, tail, wings and legs.

Why do you think birds' fingers are positioned this way? - So that they can sit on sticks, twigs, on a perch.

Can we sit like this? Let's check.

Experiment with sticks.

Let's now tell you what the body of birds is covered with. - Feathers.

How are they painted? (show pictures of other parrots)

Why do parrots have such bright colors? - Because in nature they live in tropical forests, where there is a lot of greenery, flowers, i.e. there are many colors in nature. And therefore it is difficult for predators to notice it.
