I found this game quite challenging. I discovered that the game itself didn't seem to make me think about what I could really do to help the birds, however, the Healthy Backyard Habitat Checklist did give very good suggestions on how a student could improve the environment around them to accommodate the birds.
When clicking on Mission Migration and seeing all the Audubon information on living birds I was overwhelmed with the choices. Playing the game was much easier than all the reading on the bird species.
I learned that I do not have very good keyboard skills when it comes to keeping my flock safe. It took a lot of concentration and skill. I do think that children in 4 to 6 grades may be much better at this since they probably use these skills in their computer usage much more frequently than I do personally.
I would offer this as a possible free choice possibility if it was appropriate.
