Science Project on “What Birds Like”, Project Experiment Topics on Human Beings, Animals Plants for Class 8, 9, 10 and 12 Students.

What Birds Like

Materials Required:

  1. Two small, plastic margarine or butter tubs
  2. Stiff piece of cardboard
  3. Glue
  4. Popcorn

Birds like to eat seeds. Popped popcorn, relished by people at large, is not found that way in nature. Bread is also not found in nature either, but birds love it. What according to you is liked by birds more, un-popped or popped popcorn?

Glue two small, plastic margarine or butter tubs near one edge of a stiff piece of cardboard. The cardboard should be about the size of a sheet of typing paper. Fill one of the tubs with un-popped popcorn and the other with popped one. The popcorn should be plain, without butter on it. Place the cardboard on a window sill, with the tubs on the outside.

To hold it and keep the wind from blowing it away, close the window on the cardboard. Now see if any birds come to eat on the window sill. Do they eat the popped one or the un-popped corn?

If none of the birds show interest in looking at the popcorn, put a little birdseed or bread on the bait, to attract them to your window any of them eatany popcorn from the tubs.

Identify the different kind of birds that come to your window.

Pick up a book on birds at the library. Do some species of birds prefer the popped corn over the un-popped one? Try other kind of “people food” to see if birds like them or not. You can serve breakfast cereals, fruits, vegetables and liquids (soda, milk, juices).
