Birds of a Feather

This week at yoga, we began with a story about two birds named "Steve."

We pretended to birds . . . 

HAWK

ROADRUNNER

PIGEON

We used a variety of objects to represent different kinds of bird bills:

The scissors represent the chisel bill of the WOODPECKER.

Here are some trees for the WOODPECKER to drill with his chisel bill.

 This is a flock of long-legged SPOONBILLS.  A SPOONBILL has a detector bill that moves through the water to find food.

We used this posture to be a NIGHTHAWK.  This bird has a trap bill to catch insects.

This scooping, ceramic hand represents a scoop bill.

A PELICAN uses its scoop bill to scoop fish from the water.

 Here is a seed for the FINCH to use its nutcracker bill to open.

 During our final relaxation, we pretended to be a bird resting in its nest!🐦

Next week, more fun with birds and other things that fly?!  We will float feathers and race penguins!!🐧
