About 40 fourth graders at Beaufort Elementary School were treated to a visit from the Fripp Audubon Society and were shown how to make a bird decoration by modeling clay and a bird feeder from discarded plastic bottles. First the students were shown how to thinly role out the clay, cut out the bird shape and place a metal ring in the top so it can be hung. Later, they were shown how to make a bird feeder out of old plastic bottles and perch using a wooden pencil.
