Help your kids become nature voyeurs
Kids have incredibly inquisitive minds always wanting to know stuff, especially when it comes to nature and the the world around them. Encyclopedias, or now Wikipedia, can only fill in so many blanks for them and definitely don’t work when they come to you with worms in their hands asking all kinds of questions.
If you have kids like this it can be frustrating not being able to give them all the whys and wherefores. This is especially true when it comes to things like birds and their young. Now with thanks to a company called Proidee you can give your children the birds eye view of what happens in the bird’s nest.
Using their camera-toting nest box your children can watch in real-time what is happening inside the nest that some neighborhood bird has built in the box. The camera that is installed in the box will send live images and sound up to almost 300 feet so that you and your children can see the baby birds being born and looked after.
The box is made out of weatherproof pine, will work in temperatures ranging from –10 to 50C and in both day and night time conditions. You can order the kit from Proidee for $211 which considering the learning lessons for your kids is a pretty reasonable price.
