What if there were no birds?

Can you believe it? It is October of the 2019-2020 school year! We started the year in the Nest with a discussion about a recent article in the New York Times that talked about the dramatic decrease in the North American bird population. From there, each student did a mini presentation based upon the question "What if there we no birds?".

As the shirt says, "Awesome never rests"

Here are a few of the resulting statements:

If there were no birds...

• Cats would be obese due to lack of exercise.
• Wild buffalo and rhinos would go extinct due to illnesses the bugs that feed off of them carry.
• Birdwatchers would have nothing to do.
• Breakfast restaurants would die out without eggs to offer.

These big ideas were shared via skits, posters, dioramas,
sculptures, and more! It is so fun to see these creative minds at work.
