It is my joy and privilege to write a review of this wonderful new product. I received a copy of the new DVD titled Your Backyard a few weeks ago and I think it is a perfect start to birding for families.
This DVD, presented with a Christian point of view, introduces 18 common feeder birds of the Eastern and Central U.S. Even though I live in California, I found this DVD extremely helpful and full of information that I can use in my area.
Features I love about this DVD:
- Wonderful, clear video of each featured bird, organized by colors of birds
- Just enough audio and repetition to be able to learn how to identify birds by their songs and calls
- Tips for attracting birds to your yard and instructions to make your own feeders
- Ability to use this video with even young children but still be interesting for older children
- 58 minutes long
- Bonus features like a range maps, quiz, additional images
I am going to be giving a copy of this DVD away to one family as part of tomorrow's Autumn 2010 Outdoor Hour Challenge. Please make sure to read the bird challenge and see how you can participate to have a chance to receive your own copy of this video.
At $19.95, this DVD is affordable for all families and your children will want to watch it over and over. What a great way to introduce a love of birds in your family!
