Beautiful Bird Poems for Kids
Parents and teachers teach young kids new words, expressions, sentence structure, creativity, and poems enhance their imagination. Through reciting poems, teachers and parents engage the interest of toddlers and preschoolers in the learning process. As the young kids recite the poems repeatedly, they learn to fluently pronounce new words, learn about new things and express themselves. As the young kids recite or read the poems, their imagination expands, and they learn to associate the poem’s words to the things around them.
Best Bird Poems for Children
The most convenient way to introduce new words and teach sentence formation to young kids is through poems. The earliest poems taught to kids are about or related to birds. In most bird poems, the birds symbolize joy, spring, love, and freedom for preschoolers. So it becomes easier for kids to associate with them and learn sight word recognition through them. Some famous bird poems by renowned writers are more sophisticated, and they use birds as symbols to impart a deeper meaning about a specific bird. There are poems on different birds such as owls, penguins, etc. There are also poems about birds based on their colors, such as a bluebird poem or a red bird poem. Then there are short bird poems that help the young kids learn new words without overwhelming them with long sentences.
Here are some of the best bird poems for kids:
1. ‘What Does Little Birdie Say?’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson
What does little birdie say
In her nest at peep of day?
“Let me fly,” says little birdie,
“Mother, let me fly away.”
Birdie, rest a little longer,
Till the little wings are stronger.
So she rests a little longer,
Then she flies away.
What does little baby say,
In her bed at peep of day?
Baby says, like little birdie,
“Let me rise and fly away.”
Baby, sleep a little longer,
Till the little limbs are stronger.
If she sleeps a little longer,
Baby, too, shall fly away.
2. ‘A Bird, came down the Walk’ by Emily Dickinson
A Bird, came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,
And then, he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass -
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass -
He glanced with rapid eyes,
That hurried all abroad -
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,
He stirred his Velvet Head. -
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers,
And rowed him softer Home -
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
Leap, plashless as they swim.
3. ‘For a Bird’ by Myra Cohn Livingstone
I found him lying near the tree;
I folded up his wings.
Oh, little bird,
You never heard
The song the summer sings.
I wrapped him in a shirt I wore in winter;
it was blue.
Oh, little bird,
You never heard
The song I sang to you.
4. ‘A Hatching Song’ by Judy Sierra
I’m almost hatched! I’m almost hatched!
I’m small, I’m wet, I’m not out yet.
I’m almost hatched!
I’m pecking hard, I’m pecking hard.
I’m tired, I’m weak, it hurts my beak.
I’m pecking hard.
My head’s outside, my head’s outside.
The moon is bright – the world’s so white!
My head’s outside.
I’m really hatched, I’m really hatched.
At last I’m free. Hey, Dad, it’s me!
I’m really hatched.
5. ‘Song’ by John Keats
I had a dove, and the sweet dove died;
And I have thought it died of grieving:
O, what could it grieve for? its feet were tied
With a single thread of my own hand’s weaving;
Sweet little red feet, why should you die–
Why should you leave me, sweet bird, why?
You lived alone in the forest tree,
Why, pretty thing! would you not live with me?
I kiss’d you oft and gave you white peas;
Why not live sweetly, as in the green trees?
6. ‘Consider the Penguin’ by Lucy W. Rhu
Consider the penguin
He’s smart as can be -
Dressed in his dinner clothes
Permanently.
You never can tell
When you see him about,
If he’s just coming in
Or just going out!
7. ‘Early Bird’ by Shel Silverstein
Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early early bird-
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.
8. ‘The Chickadees’ by Harriet Jenks
Four little chickadees, sitting in a tree;
One flew away and then there were three.
Chickadee, chickadee, happy and gay,
Chickadee, chickadee, fly away.
Three little chickadees don’t know what to do;
One flew away and then there were two.
Chickadee, chickadee, happy and gay,
Chickadee, chickadee, fly away.
Two little chickadees sitting in the sun;
One flew away and then there was one.
Chickadee, chickadee, happy and gay,
Chickadee, chickadee, fly away.
One little chickadee can’t have any fun;
He flew away, and then there were none.
Chickadee, chickadee, happy and gay,
Chickadee, chickadee, fly away.
9. ‘If I Were A Bird’ by Jackie Silberg
If I were a bird, I’d sing a song
And fly about the whole day long
And when the night comes, go to rest,
Up in my cozy little nest.
10. ‘Preening’ by Frank Asch
Preening every day,
what a chore! wing up,
leg out,
tuck,
twist,
and stretch.
Preening every day,
what a bore!
Wing down, leg in,
bend,
reach,
and nibble.
Preening every day
is the price we pay
to crouch, spring, and soar!
Flying day and night, what a delight!
11. ‘An Unassuming Owl’ by Jack Prelutsky
An unassuming owl,
having little else to do,
remarked within the darkness
a discreet and subtle “WHOOOOOOOOOOO!”
A self-important owl,
puffed and pompous in the gloom,
responded with an overblown
and condescending “WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”
12. ‘In The Beginning’ by Frank Asch
In the beginning, when the earth was new,
birds had no feet but only flew.
When they crashed upon their nose,
Mother Nature gave them toes.
Then they dined standing on the beach,
catching all the fish within their reach.
And when they fought for fish to eat,
Mother Nature stretched their feet.
“Nobody here can fall asleep!
So, you long-legged birds, fish in the deep.
Short-legged birds, fish near the shore,
And stop that fighting! You hear? No more!”
13. ‘Magpie’ by Shirley Wishart
Magpie they call me
Though I know no reason why
For I am handsome and clever
And I never never lie.
Legend tells of other birds
Asking me to teach them
How to build a nest.
When I began to show them
They said they knew best.
This is why I live in a nest
With a sheltering roof and a view –
And other bird’s nests are like mine –
but cut in two.
Teaching children bird poetry helps them in developing their creativity and speaking skills. Most are simple, engaging, and enjoyable to learn, and they help children recognize sounds, learn new words, and develop their inventiveness.

How Daughters Can Be Best Friends
It's often that we hear the terms 'mama's boy' and 'daddy's girl'. But having your daughter as your best friend can be a reality too. Starting today, make the effort to build a connection with your daughter and strengthen it. You'll be amazed by the rewards!
Moms and sons, daughters and dads - that seems to be the ways of things. But contrary to popular belief, it’s completely possible to share a loving relationship with your daughter. If you don’t already have a close connection, prepare to make a consistent effort. It may take time but the end will be totally worth it!
Time-tested Ways to Be Your Daughter’s Best Friend
Before embarking on your mission to be friends with your daughter, remember that there should always be a clear line between you, the parent, and her, the daughter. In an effort to share a close relationship, some moms blur the lines so that boundaries aren’t set. Daughters end up feeling embarrassed and taking their moms for granted, while moms end up looking like they’re trying too hard to stay young. The key is balance!
1. Let her know that you’re an individual
Everyone has something that’s all their own. Just because you’re a mother, it doesn’t mean you’ve lost your essence. In the midst of raising her and teaching her values, show her that you’re a person, whether it’s by sharing something funny that happened when you were young, or an exciting book you’re reading now. It’ll help set the groundwork for building a relationship between mother and daughter.
2. Remind her who’s mom!
As your relationship becomes more open and connected, you could find your daughter getting a little audacious at times. It’s only natural, but you shouldn’t let it pass. Let her know who’s boss with a reprimand. Don’t worry; you won’t ruin your new mother-daughter relationship. In fact, you’ll only strengthen the bond by laying down some rules that she needs to be reminded about and that she’ll come to appreciate.
3. Be open with her
Children can come to view their parents as being rigid and unforgiving. If you don’t show your daughter otherwise, she won’t come to see you as someone she can talk to and open up to. Let her know that she can confide in and bring her troubles to you, whether it’s about school, a crush or anything else. Listen without being judgemental and guide her while letting her make decisions too.
4. Tell her things, but not everything!
Having your daughter as your best friend can be rewarding, but unlike with non-mom-daughter relationships, are certain things you can’t share with her. You may want to give examples of what went on with you when you were young to show her you understand things, but know when not to. There’s no need to tell her how crazy you and your friends were after a few cocktails, or how young you were when you had your first beer!
Your daughter can definitely be your best friend just as long as you know where you and she stand. Set rules and boundaries but be open enough that she knows there’s someone she can confide in. The mother-daughter bond is special - enjoy it to the fullest! Read more

The 'How to' of Being Pregnant and Stylish!
Now that you're pregnant and need to redo your wardrobe, take a minute to think about pregnancy clothing. You can look stylish with trendy outfits that are also comfortable. All you need is a little creativity to dazzle no matter your weight.
Are you going to be a mom soon? Congratulations! Your life is going to change and in a very positive way. Along with eating and exercising right, why not dress right to accommodate the little one growing inside you? Contrary to popular belief, you can still look your best by experimenting with designs and cuts.
Get Stylish with Pregnancy Fashion
1. Try Deep Necklines
In case you resort to padded bras to add curves to your silhouette, it’s time to heave a sigh of relief. Along with pregnancy weight, you’ll notice your breasts growing so you can leave aside padded underwear and flaunt your newly acquired curves. Opt for trendy maternity wear with deep necklines to show off a hint of décolletage.
2. Rock Skinny Jeans
Put together stylish pregnancy jeans made of stretchy fabrics that are designed to accommodate your expanding figure. You can get them in a variety of colours and mix them with a range of tops in different tones.
3. Loose-Fitting Clothes? Not Necessarily!
It’s a popular belief that maternity clothing should be huge, loose-fitting and, quite frankly, dull. But they only make you look larger. You should go for clothes that highlight your arms and legs as they don’t pack on too much weight. Try sleeveless t-shirts and tops or sweaters with fitted sleeves. ||
4. Don’t Shy Away from Colour
Forget people who tell you that clothing during pregnancy should be in muted and neutral colours. You have all the more reason to wear bright colours thanks to the happy news that you’re having a baby. Let your clothes be the reflection of your happy feelings.
5. Smarten Up with Jackets
One of the most popular pregnancy dress styles is to wear blazers, coats, maternity shrugs and jackets over tops and dresses without buttoning them up. This allows you to breathe freely and elongates your figure. Plus, you’ll look great!
6. Add to Clothes with Adornments
Fashion for pregnant women need not be simple. You can jazz up clothes by adding to them the way you like. Add embroidered duppattas, beads and laces to your existing wardrobe. Just make sure you don’t go for something that’s too flashy and makes clothes uncomfortable to wear.
7. Accessorise Right
Accessories can perk up any article of clothing and they become all the more important when you’re pregnant. This is one of the best pregnancy style tips especially for your last trimester. Just slip on long, dangling earrings or a statement necklace and on days you don't feel like dressing up to add bling to your simple outfit.
Pregnant women clothing is far from boring and unfashionable. While comfort is primary, style shouldn’t be compromised upon. The next time you go shopping, keep these tips in mind. There’s absolutely no need to give up on your love for fashion and your style. Pregnancy clothing can be comfy, fun and so trendy! Read more

My Story of an Exciting C-section for All Anxious Mommies
Generally, surgeries are thought to be scary, lying on a bed, not having any sensation, a region of your body being cut open, and some instruments going in and out of your body. However, for me, my C-section was an exciting and fun-filled journey, the story of which I would like to share with all new mothers or going-to-be mothers out there. Yes! You read it right; my C-section was indeed fun. I hope this story can relieve the tension of some of the expecting mothers.
Pregnancy is never an easy journey. Some women have a smooth one, while others bear the impacts of pregnancy, like vomiting, pain, nausea, etc. Luckily, my frequency of rushing to the restroom and the sink was very low. But my gynecologist always said, “Pregnancy is unpredictable, and one cannot be confident about anything until delivery.” For a smooth pregnancy like mine, the delivery was a surprise. I was convinced that I would have a normal delivery, but exactly after 38 weeks and five days, I was shocked when I had to be taken for an emergency C-section. My amniotic fluid was very low (though I never felt the leakage), and the baby was in breech position. Thus, I landed up in the
Operation Theatre (OT).
I was anxious before entering the OT like any other person who would undergo surgery would be. I was being prepared for the surgery, and when the time came, I was taken to the OT in a stretcher and asked to sit on the OT table. Hold tight and read! Now the fun part of the story begins. I knew spinal anesthesia would be given, and I also heard that these injections could be painful. I held on tightly to a pillow given to me and could feel a needle pricking into me. When the second dose was supposed to be administered, I started moving, thereby disallowing the nurse to inject me. The assistant held me tightly, and finally, I was given the injection. Then they tied my hands up as I lay on the table. The numbing process was very quick; suddenly, you didn’t feel your legs at all. I was amazed by how anesthesia worked. The doctors entered the OT and started talking about how to make the incision. I was shocked to hear that both have different opinions about that. There was a screen in front of me, so I could not witness the operation; however, their discussion was intriguing, scary, and amazing. They discussed how they would carry out the procedure. In just 10 minutes, my baby was out, and that loud cry of the baby brought tears to my eyes. As the anesthesiologist gave me the news that a baby girl was born, my entire life seemed to be different in a minute.
The baby was taken off me to record certain parameters and for a cleanup. In the meantime, doctors were continuing to remove the placenta and clean me up. That was when I felt like a lab rat, as there was a serious discussion about some outgrowth present at the opening of my uterus. They discussed digging deeper to find more about the outgrowth.
At this point, I was worried, and to keep my anxiety levels low, the doctors started interacting with me. Knowing my husband and me well, my gynecologist joked about not grooming my child like us. Though I was a little anxious, I was still feeling on cloud nine to become a mother to a wonderful baby girl. I was looking at the monitor, which showed that my heart was doing great. I was smiling continuously; I was amazed by the whole process, where I did not feel a thing. Later, they brought my baby to me, and as my hands were tied to the table, I could not touch her, but I managed to peck a small kiss on her cheeks. My procedure nearly took one hour to complete. Finally, I was stitched up and taken to the observation room.
The numbing effect, the discussions, the interactions, the baby’s cry, my first kiss, everything was just so exciting and overwhelming for me. Some women might connect with my experience, while others may have different opinions. However, in the end, all that matters is holding your bundle of joy in your arms - the most precious moment in a women’s life.
