Wild Republic Audubon Birds

I have never been a bird watcher before but as I am aging I can see why people enjoy it so much. Having always lived in the country I have seen lots of birds and learned quite a few of them but realized that I haven't really passed it onto my younger children. 

I think the Wild Republic Audubon Bird Collection is great way to teach children about Birds. These birds are cute, have realistic sounds, so good in fact that  my cats were attacking this bird at first thinking it was real. My cats are good hunters, sometimes too good. My kids have learned most of the birds by the carcasses our cats bring in. I wanted them to learn in a better way and this is a great way to do it. 

They have looked through the birds on the Wild Republic Site and have a few on their wish lists for Christmas and Birthdays. Some of my favorites are the Cardinal, Flamingo, Turkey, and the Bald Eagle. My girls love our Blue Jay, the cats love to hate it, and the sound effects are spot on. We had a Blue Jay outside our window so we pulled out our stuffed Blue Jay and the Blue Jay outside had a short conversation with him. It was fun for the girls to see. 

If you are looking for a way to teach your children about birds this is a great way. These even make a great gift for the bird watcher in your life. You can find these Birds and many more on Wild Republic here.

What Wild Republic has to say about their product.

Wild Republic is proud to continue it’s award-winning line of realistic birds with authentic sound. This year, Wild Republic has updated its Audubon Birds line with vivid colors and even more exact colors and details to each specific species. The first set of updated birds is now available.
Licensed by the legendary National Audubon Society, with real bird calls provided by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, these birds have become one of the hottest collectibles in the toy and garden market. They sell well to both children and adult bird enthusiasts (aka birders). Each bird is carefully researched to be a replica of the species appearance and sound information. Join the flock.

Shadows May Fall 

 

There is no rest for the weary, as seasoned homicide detective Lou Donovan learns the hard way. Immediately following Lou’s work on a string of complex murders, she finds herself faced with the task of finding a new killer with some seriously twisted methods. An adult film executive becomes the first unwitting victim of a killer just beginning a psychotic spree. As Lou meticulously grazes each new murder scene—scenes that send every other detective ducking for the bathroom—Lou and her new partner must follow their instincts to a dark and deadly place.

Glass Water Bottles

When I first think of glass water bottles I think of lots of broken glass, but these glass water bottles have lived up to the resistance on the breaking.

We haven't actually let one hit the floor from a far distance but they have been washed, knocked around during use, etc, and they are still intact, just not ready to let my little ones take these out on their own just yet.

I like that this comes with 6 bottles and a scrub brush that makes cleaning them super easy. I do wish it had a bigger mouth opening for adding ice to keep your drink cook but I am sure they can work on that next.

I love the tops and the way they screw on and protect the mouthpiece with a silicone linking so there is less breakage. These say they are freezer safe but as of yet I am not ready to test that but I am thinking about it to see if I lay it down and there is ice on the side of the bottle I can add a drink and it will stay cold for a while

Great for those who want to use glass instead of plastic, or steel. Easy to clean.

Briefton's Glass water bottles can be found on Amazon.
