Early Bird

Early Bird, one of the projects of the Nature Conservation Foundation (NCF) of India, is involved in getting young people interested in and excited about birds, by creating high-quality print and online material that can be used as useful birding resources. Although the material is aimed at children, I am using it to target people who are "young" at birding!

In November 2015, I bought a set of flashcards containing high quality bird photographs with information about the bird and its behaviour, its call, etc. I also bought an easy-to-carry field-guide poster on 135 common birds of the Indian peninsula. The two were promptly delivered at my doorstep and have proved to be a valuable and attractive way to get people's attention, start a conversation or identify a bird seen recently. Definitely great value for money...
