What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Where do different birds sleep at night?

The Big Idea

Where does a bird go at bedtime? It depends on the bird! Where do different birds sleep?

Bushes and Holes

Step one: Bushes and Holes. Most small birds tuck into dense bushes or trees and grip their perches. Woodpeckers and chickadees may sleep in tree holes.

Water and Cliffs

Step two: Water and Cliffs. Ducks and geese often sleep on the water, floating together. Some birds sleep on the ground, and others on high cliffs.

Tucked In

Step three: Tucked In. Many birds tuck their beaks into their back feathers to stay warm. Wherever they sleep, they pick spots that are hard for hunters to reach.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Small birds. Woodpeckers. Ducks. Some seabirds.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Sleeping close together helps small birds share warmth. Many birds tuck their beaks into their feathers. Ducks often sleep floating. Safe sleeping spots are hard to reach.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Make a bedtime map. Draw a tree, a bush, a pond, and a cliff. Place a bird in each spot. Write why that spot is good for sleeping. Where would you sleep if you were a bird?
