Welcome to the Britannica Kids Activities Corner.
欢迎来到大英百科全书儿童活动角。
Today in the Britannica workshop we're going to create pinecone birdfeeders!
今天,在大英百科全书工作室,我们将制作松果喂鸟器!
These homemade treats are a great way to learn about birds and find out which species are in your neighborhood!
这些自制的食物是了解鸟类和找出哪些物种在你附近的一个很好的方式!
Plus, this is a small way to help provide food to birds and other local wildlife during the cold winter months, when natural food supplies are less available.
此外,这也是在寒冷的冬季为鸟类和其他当地野生动物提供食物的一种小方法,冬季自然食物供应较少。
Making pinecone birdfeeders is easy and fun!
制作松果喂鸟器既简单又有趣!
These are the materials you will need: pinecones (you can start out with one if you want) peanut butter (or vegetable shortening, if you have an allergy) birdseed (like sunflower seeds, mixed seed bags, or hemp) string and bowls Lets get started.
这些是你需要的材料:松果(如果你愿意,开始先用一个),花生酱(或者蔬菜起酥油,如果你有过敏的话),鸟食(像葵花籽、混合种子袋或大麻),细绳和碗让我们开始吧。
First, scoop one cup of peanut butter into a bowl.
首先,用勺子舀一杯花生酱倒进碗里。
Then, place a few scoops of birdseed into another bowl.
然后,在另一个碗中放几粒鸟食。
Next, take your pinecone, and tie the piece of string around the top.
接下来,拿出你的松果,把绳子系在顶部。
Then, roll it around into the peanut butter.
然后,把它卷到花生酱里。
It gets sticky, so be prepared!
会变得粘乎乎的,所以要做好准备!
Once the pinecone is all covered in peanut butter, take it and gently roll it into the birdseed.
一旦松果上覆盖了花生酱,拿起它,轻轻地把它卷进鸟食里。
You'll be surprised at how much birdseed sticks to the peanut butter!
你会惊讶,花生酱上粘了这么多鸟食!
Let your covered pinecone dry for a few hours indoors.
让覆盖着花生酱和鸟食的松果在室内晾干几个小时。
Once the peanut butter is stiff, take the pinecone feeder and hang it up somewhere in your backyard or on your porch.
一旦花生酱变硬,拿起松果喂食器,把它挂在你家后院或门廊的某个地方。
Try and find a branch or bush near a window so you and your family can watch the birds that come by and feed from it.
试着找一根靠近窗户的树枝或灌木,这样你和你的家人就可以看到鸟儿飞过并在那里进食。
Count how many different birds come to your pinecone feeder, and ask an adult to help look them up to see what they're called!
数一数有多少不同的鸟来到你的松果喂食器,并请一位大人帮忙查一下它们是什么品种!
You can also make more feeders to place around the neighborhood to make sure all the birds have plenty to eat during the winter!
你还可以在附近放置更多的喂食器,以确保所有的鸟在冬天都有足够的食物!
