>> Stay right where you are!
It's Cyberchase For Real!
>> I need to go to the grocery store.
>> Ready?
>> Oh, I forgot!
>> How can you forget?
>> I'm so sorry!
>> I'm so psyched!
>> But I'm so hungry.
Why don't we go food shopping instead?
>> You're in luck!
I've got snacks.
>> Oh, okay.
I'll shop later.
It's just that birdwatching seems so boring.
I'm a city girl, you know?
>> Trust me, you're gonna love it!
But first you have to change.
>> I'm not going to instantly transform into a nature-lover like you!
>> No, I mean change your clothes.
>> Excuse me?
>> Instead of wearing bright colors, it's best to blend into nature.
>> Oh!
Where are we going?
>> A beautiful place in Linden.
>> You mean that city where you can see the oil refinery from the turnpike?
>> Yup.
♪ ♪ >> We're almost there.
>> You've gotta be kidding me.
♪ ♪ >> You're not kidding!
It's amazing here.
But where are the birds?
>> Look, a red-winged blackbird!
>> (Shrieks) >> Shh!
It's important to stay quiet so you don't scare the birds away.
>> Sorry!
How many different kinds of birds can you see here?
>> Oh look!
This chart shows that bird watchers have seen 201 different species.
It's a running total.
That means every time a birdwatcher sees a new bird, it changes.
>> Wow!
Let's see how many more we can see!
>> Yeah.
♪♪ (Chirps) >> ♪ Look!
>> ♪ Woah!
♪♪ (Chirps) ♪♪ (Chirps) ♪♪ (Chirps) >> Hey, Jaden.
>> Hi Kelly!
Meet my aunt Bianca.
This is Kelly from New Jersey Audubon.
They take care of Hawk Rise Sanctuary.
>> It's nice to meet you!
What are you planting.
>> Chokeberry and spicebush.
>> Why do you need to plant plants in a place that has a lot of plants?
>> These plants have berries and they provide food for birds.
In cities where there's a lot of industry and not a lot of open space, it's important to improve and protect wildlife habitat.
>> Yeah, we want to make sure birds get all the food they need to survive.
>> I wanna help birds get all the food they need to survive!
I love birdwatching!
>> I told you you'd love it!
>> I think I really am changing now!
I'm becoming a nature lover too, you guys!
(Laughs) What can I do to help?
>> Well, you can start by planting plants in your backyard that are food for birds.
>> That's a great idea!
>> Shh!
>> Oh, that's a great idea!
>> I'd start with brown-eyed Susans.
They provide nectar for hummingbirds and after they flower, they produce seeds which are food for birds.
>> Thanks for improving my backyard habitat.
The birds are gonna love you!
My habitat needs to improve.
It's not providing the food that I need to survive!
