Printable Bird Cards

When you are teaching science and nature study to your kids, using fact cards can really come in handy. For instance, these bird cards have beautiful color pictures of each bird on the front and are full of facts about each type of bird on the back. You can print the cards duplex so students can practice memorizing the different types of birds. 

Two sets of printable flashcards are included in these Free Bird Fact Cards.

Bird Card Set #1

The first set of bird cards includes a beautiful watercolor image of each bird along with key information such as: 

  • the bird’s classification and/or scientific name
  • its average size
  • its main colors
  • other interesting facts such as what the tiniest bird in the world is

Bird Card Set #2

The second set of bird cards includes an image of the bird along with blank lines where students can copy the information they have learned. Students can use the facts from the first set of bird cards to copy on the blank lines. This is great for handwriting practice as well as solidifying the facts about birds into their minds.
