Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves bird watching and identification, I have a few gift ideas that will surely make her birthday extra special and make her passion come to life!

1. Bird Watching Guidebook: Gift her a comprehensive bird watching guidebook that includes information about different bird species, habitats, and migration patterns. Look for a guidebook that has colorful illustrations and detailed descriptions to help her identify birds accurately. This will be a handy resource for her bird watching adventures.

2. Binoculars: A good pair of binoculars is essential for bird watching. Consider investing in a quality pair that is lightweight, durable, and has a good field of view. Look for models specifically designed for birders, with features like image stabilization and coated lenses for better clarity. Your daughter will be able to observe birds up close and appreciate their beauty in greater detail.

3. Field Journal: Encourage your daughter to document her bird watching experiences by gifting her a beautiful field journal. Look for a journal that has blank pages for writing observations and sketching birds, along with sections to record date, location, and weather conditions. This will not only help her keep track of her sightings but also serve as a valuable keepsake of her bird watching journey.

4. Membership to Birding Organizations: Consider gifting your daughter a membership to a local birding organization or an ornithological society. These organizations often offer access to birding events, workshops, and field trips led by experienced birders. Being part of a community of fellow bird enthusiasts will provide her with opportunities to learn and share her passion with like-minded people.

5. Bird Call Identification Guide: Expand your daughter's knowledge by gifting her a bird call identification guide. This will help her learn and recognize different bird vocalizations, allowing her to identify birds even when they are hidden from sight. With practice, she can tune her ears to the melodies of various bird species and develop a deeper connection with nature.

6. Photography Equipment: If your daughter is interested in photography, consider gifting her a digital camera with a telephoto lens. This will allow her to capture stunning images of the birds she observes. Encourage her to share her photographs with birding communities or create a blog to showcase her work and engage with other bird watchers.

7. Birdhouse or Feeder Kit: Help your daughter create an inviting space for birds in your backyard by gifting her a birdhouse or feeder kit. This will not only attract more birds to her vicinity but also provide her with the opportunity to observe their behavior and interactions. You can even make it a fun activity by building the birdhouse or assembling the feeder together.

Remember, the best gift you can give your daughter is your support and encouragement in her passion for bird watching. Plan a special birding outing, spend time together in nature, and foster an environment that nurtures her love for these beautiful creatures.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
