If the closest your little ones get to our feathered friends is singing along with Muffin, Jordan, Beakman and the like (and let’s face it, who isn’t totally charmed by 3RD and bird?!) then tomorrow (Saturday) is the day to change all that – it’s the RSPB’s Feed The Birds Day 
The aim is to encourage birds of all shapes and sizes into your gardens and feed them up before the really cold Yorkshire weather kicks in. We’ve found this great Bird Food Cake recipe which looks cheap and easy to make. Little ones will love getting their hands in the mix and watching the flocks come down to feast once it’s out in the garden.And if Masterchef for birds doesn’t fit the bill (pun not intended, but left nonetheless!) for you this weekend, you take your little ones to look at some birds instead. There can’t be many kids in Skipton who haven’t spent happy times feeding up the ducks on the canal, or you could take a trip out of town? There’s the aviary at Cliffe Castle, near Keighley; Falconry centres at Settle and Coniston Cold and the aviaries at Harewood House and Tropical World, Leeds.
Enjoy! x
