Printable Bird Coloring Pages - What Flying Fun!
If you spend any time outside, you're sure to see a bird. Coming
in all shapes and sizes, all with feathers and wings, these colorful
creatures are adored by many. Why not take a short trip to your
backyard to see what kinds of birds you will find? Look around.
Do you have birdhouses in your yard? What about hummingbird feeders?
And, have you ever seen an owl? If you're looking for birds to
color, look no further. Printable Bird Coloring Pages can be almost
as good as taking a trip out back!
But before you start to color, you should know that birds' mouths
are actually bony beaks and that they do not have teeth! Of course,
you know they can fly, but did you know that many birds can swim,
as well? They sure can! Swimming allows certain birds to catch
food like fish or bugs and plants that live and grow in water.
There are also birds that eat nectar like the hummingbird. Nectar
is a sweet fluid that tastes kind of like sugar, which is why
they like it. Others eat seeds from flowers or fruit, even from
your bird feeder in your back yard! There are even birds that
eat worms like the Robin.
And some of the more colorful ones, like parrots, for example,
are kept as pets. You can even teach them to speak, saying words
just like you do!
Also like people, some birds tend to hover, just like you and
your friends do around the water fountain at school. But, instead
of just standing there, these birds, such as hummingbirds, stay
very still while in the air, not quite flying, but hovering like
a helicopter. These tiny hummingbirds sure can fly fast though
so you have to keep your eyes open or you just might miss it as
it zooms by!
Do you have a favorite bird? Do you know anyone that has one as
a pet? If so, take a minute to print out free coloring pages and
share them with your friend. Free Coloring
Pages for Kids and
