MARTIN: Chickadees too!
There are so many amazing animals right out in the woods.

And you can make your backyard a great place for wild animals to live.
By making sure wild animals have plenty to eat.
Who wants to make some feeders?
KIDS: Me!
Whoo!
All right.
Let's get started.
CHRIS: All right, guys, take these.
This is lard.
You got to squish this up and then stick it into the birdseed.
Just squish it all up and put it into the birdseed and then smush it around.
CHRIS: The birds will bite off pieces of this.
See?
And they'll get some good nutritious seeds.
And they'll get some good nutritious lard.
Okay, and when you're done, drop it right into the bag.
Drop them in there.
One giant... Yeah, oh, those are good ones.
You guys are good.
And now we can tie up the end.
Perfect!

We have a bird feeder!
They are going to love this, guys.
You've all done such a great job.
Everybody done with their feeders?

Yay!
Okay, I'm going to tie it up for you.

KIDS: Yeah!
MARTIN: All right.
Let's go hide and wait for them to come, okay?
Everybody over here!
Okay, everybody down in the grass!
Come on!
Down in the grass!
You can call them by saying, "Chickadee!"
Chickadee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee!
Chickadee, dee, dee.
CHRIS: Oh, here they come!
Awesome.
There's one in the tree.
Oh, here comes a chickadee right now.
See him high in the tree?

CHRIS: Yes!

Good job, guys!
Whoo!
