Balancing birds
Birds have brilliant balance.
They can perch on thin twigs, hang updside down at bird feeders, some balance on water whilst others can hover in the air!

- print a template
- cut around the outline of your bird
- colour it in
- stick or attach a small piece of modelling clay (or a pebble) on the place shown on the picture
