Birds Coloring Pages

From garden birds to tropical ones

The everyday birds come first: robins, sparrows, ducks, chickens and owls. Then the bright ones, parrots, toucans, flamingos and peacocks, which are the most requested because they justify the whole crayon box. Birds of prey, eagles, falcons and hawks, appear with more detail in the feathers for older children, and penguins get their own pages.

Birds in the classroom

Printable bird coloring sheets fit a habitat unit, a migration discussion, or a spring topic about nests and eggs. A peacock page is also one of the few printables that will hold a class quiet for twenty minutes without anyone asking what to do next.

Colour with a reference

Birds are worth colouring twice: once from imagination, once from a photograph. Children notice far more the second time, and the two sheets side by side make a display that shows what they learned rather than just what they made.
