Bird Day in Kolosok Daycare Center

“The snows vocalize, the streams run, the rivers murmur glittering, and the sun forwards its rays penetrating into every house” – these are the words from which a holiday dedicated to the Bird Day has started in Kolosok Daycare Center of the Spassky Municipal District of the Republic of Tatarstan. The event was organized by the teacher Vera Osintseva. The State Environmental Protection Inspector of the Republic of Tatarstan Lyubov Murzak took part in the holiday telling the children about the birds: “The feathered decorate our land, bring great benefit to nature. Their cheerful, sonorous trills, bright colors revive nature, inspire cheerfulness and joy. By April 1, not all migratory travelers return to us. Rooks appear the first, then starlings followed by waterfowl. Less and less we hear the hubbub and chirping of birds in the spring. In order for them to return and for children to observe their life and not just study them according to the textbooks, very little is needed. An ancient Russian tradition – to hang up the bird houses –has a profound meaning: a man not only helps birds, but by doing this he gets closer to nature, better understands his primordial unity with it”.

During the festival, children enjoyed reading poems about feathered friends, singing songs, distinguishing voices of birds, and solving riddles. At the end of the event, the children were awarded diplomas and sweet gifts from the administration of the sanctuary.
