    Birding in Jardin du Luxembourg

    In Jardin du Luxembourg there are many types of birds. In the middle of the park you are likely to see Pigeons, Black headed seagulls, Starlings, Crows, and Mallards. In the outer edges you can see ringed parakeets, Starlings, pigeons, crows, Great Tits, Blue Tits, and Magpies.

    These mallards are swimming near the boats.

    Urban Birding for Kids by Athena

    If you want to do birding with your child do something you can do is go to a playground or park and if you are looking for birds your child can play for a while or bring a camera and so they can take photos of birds! I love taking photos of birds! Even though my camera screen is a little fuzzy, I still like to use it. Whenever you try to get the birds they usually run away or fly away!

    My favorite birds to photograph are pigeons,sparrows,crows,moorhens,and ducks(mallards).

    Pigeons fight over food.
    Mallards like walking by the Seine!
    This pigeon was blinking when I took the photo.
