They had also received a chart showing pictures of garden birds, how big they were, what they liked to feed on, and where they liked to feed from. Some birds only eat food off the ground, while others will perch on a feeder hanging from a tree.

They spent the rest of the afternoon sitting inside with their chart, trying to work out which birds were visiting their garden.

There were bluetits and coaltits, greenfinches and sparrows, and even big birds like pigeons and starlings. They loved that a robin came to visit too!

On the weekend of 28th to 30th January, the bears are going to take part in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. They will spend an hour counting all the different birds which visit their garden and then log on to the RSPB's website and enter the details. The RSPB stands for the Royal Society For The Protection Of Birds, and they use the information they gather from across the country to check on whether there are more or less birds of different types now than previously.
