We
had a very successful bird day event with
approximately 60 children and their parents
attending! They learned about the adventures
of Sreeeeeeet the Lorikeet, adapted from
the book "Here There & Everywhere." Sreeeeeet
was stolen from his forest home and sold
to a family from a pet store. The boy eventually
returns Sreeeeeeet to his forest home and
learns that birds were meant to fly free.
Children listened to Moonsong the Storyteller,
watched ballet dancer Nora McGinley-Hence
flutter about as Sreeeeeeet, learned a song
about birds from Jim Harris and the Saint
Mad band, made beautiful bird masks with
artists Zipora Schulz and Sasha Wright, and
embodied bird movements with dancer Lara
Vracarich. Families said they had a great
time participating in the activities and
learning about birds! The Children's Librarian
was impressed with our program and invited
us back to do other performances. Excerpts
from film footage of the event will be posted
on the websites of the Avian Welfare Coalition
(www.avainwelfare.org) and Born Free USA
(www.bornfreeusa.org). Enjoy photos of the
event, posted on this page!
