About this coloring page
Three speckled eggs sit close together in a round twig nest, each with a few spots. Above them, a long branch stretches across the page, and a small bird perches near the end of it, watching over the nest. The bird has a round head, a dot eye, a pointed beak, and a wing on its side.
The eggs overlap each other, so there are a few small spaces where they meet. The nest has twig lines curving across it, which make natural sections. The parent bird is fairly small, so it is a good spot to use a sharp pencil.
Color ideas
- Color the eggs pale blue, like robin eggs, and make the spots dark brown.
- Use two or three browns for the nest, following the twig lines so it looks woven.
- Make the parent bird a bright color, like a red cardinal or a bluebird, so it stands out from the brown branch.
Did you know?
- Parent birds keep their eggs warm by sitting on them. This is called incubating.
- Bird eggs come in many colors, including white, blue, green, and speckled brown. The color and spots can help some eggs blend in.
Try this
Go on a short walk and look for nests in trees or bushes, but just look from a distance and never touch them.
