Bird Books for National Bird Day…To Enjoy with Children & Alzheimer’s Patients

I mentioned National Bird Day on Monday and related how my mom enjoyed watching the birds and listening to their songs when she was in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s. As her illness advanced, then her recognition of birds was only fleeting.
To extend the pleasure of birdwatching for Alzheimer’s patients, children if they’re in the house, as well as yourself, I’ve researched some books for all ages and posted them on my One Book Two Book blog. You might want to stop by to check them out, Bird Books: Stories, Information and Fun.

My mom probably would have looked at the cover of this board book and began reminiscing with me about raising ducks and ducklings on our farm. We had a brook that ran between the house and barn where the ducks liked to swim. We did have to be careful that Mother Duck didn’t take her babies swimming when they were too young. The current could have been swift for tiny ducklings.

Do you have any favorite bird books? Are any on my list of Bird Books at One Book Two Book.

Are there any that bring back memories for your Alzheimer’s patient?
