On Sunday 5th May, as part of the Medieval Mdina 2019 festival being held that weekend, BirdLife Malta will be at the Museum courtyard to tell you more about these amazing birds and their migration journeys around the world. The participants will watch them building their ‘houses’ in the Museum’s walls and make crafts to welcome these beautiful creatures!
Here are some of the activities they’re planning for the day:
Birdwatching
Swifts are breeding on Malta and this is the perfect time to see them flying around and building their nests. How lucky they are that swifts decide to take up residence exactly in the Museum walls!
Education Zone
They’re pretty sure that you don’t know either that Swifts can eat only while they’re flying. They will tell you about these crazy facts and more on the day 🙂 They will also have a scientist on site who has been ringing and studying swifts for years…and he’ll be sharing his experiences!
Crafts
Do you know that swifts live in colonies and have a rich social behaviour? During this event they are going to produce the biggest swift colony in Mdina ourselves. Paper, scissors and colourings are ready, you just need to meet them there and join in 🙂
Price : Free of charge
Date: Sunday, 5th May
Time: 9:00-12-00
