Gift Ideas for Aunt Who Likes Early Morning Bird Watching

I received an email from my friend George almost immediately after our last post – GIFT IDEAS TO INCREASE YOUR CHILD’S OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES was published.

He said, “Hey, man. Got any gifts for my aunt? She loves to bird watch in the nearby woods in the mornings, and she already has great binoculars and a log book.”

Indeed many birdwatchers like to go out in the morning to watch birds.

It’s not just that there are more birds in the morning, but what’s more appealing – the dawn chorus.

What is the Dawn Chorus

Most birds wake up the moment the sun comes. This has to do with their instinct to be alert and hide from enemies.

And when songbirds wake up, they almost immediately open their mouths to sing. Many times this is done to attract the attention of the opposite sex or to assert territory.

It is not one or two birds that sing in the morning, but almost all songbirds. This is why we hear more bird calls in the early morning.

This is the dawn chorus. The dawn chorus reaches its annual peak in May.

As a birdwatcher, it is natural that you will not give up the best time of the year to see birds like the Dawn Chorus.

So that’s why many birdwatchers go out for early morning walks and bird watching. It’s a great way to wake up your body and spirit while watching the birds jumping on the branches and listening to the beautiful sounds of birdsong.

Tips:

The most common birds in the dawn chorus are Robins, Blackbirds, Warblers, Song Thrush, etc.

Songbirds are most active in the early morning, and the second peak of the day is in the hours before dusk.

White-browed sparrow-weavers are one of the few birds that can sing in pairs.

Some primates also join in the dawn chorus.

The dawn chorus helps people to soothe their emotions.

The white bellbird is the world’s loudest bird, reaching a maximum of 125 decibels.

Gift ideas for early morning bird watchers

ORORO Heated Vest

For my friend George’s aunt, we recommend the ORORO Heated Vest. We have recommended this heated undershirt in another post GIFT IDEAS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO FISH.

Because during early morning birding, the temperature is just starting to rise from the coldest part of the day. And people have just left the warmth of their blankets.

Most birdwatchers are simply strolling, and they don’t engage in strenuous exercise. This leaves the body greatly affected by the ambient temperature.

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor makes people feel uncomfortable.

This discomfort can be significantly reduced by wearing a heated undershirt to keep the core of the body (abdomen, shoulders, back) warm.

ORORO’s heated undershirt heats up in seconds, helping to protect you from the cold almost the moment you step out of the house.

When fully charged it can continue to work for 3-10 hours depending on the level of heating, enough to cope with bird watching on a cold morning.

For people like George’s aunt who is getting on in years, the ORORO heating vest would be an excellent and thoughtful gift.

In addition it is also available in men’s heated vest.

Shiwely Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers

If there are woods nearby, many birdwatchers will choose to go there to watch birds. Because the woods have the largest number of birds, the dawn chorus is very pleasing to the ear.

But there are inconveniences to bird watching in the woods.

Especially in spring and autumn, there is a lot of dew in the early morning. It is easy to get your shoes wet when you step on the grass or fallen leaves.

So people often find that their shoes are muddy when they return home after bird watching.

Shiwely Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers can be a convenient solution to this problem.

It is made of transparent silicone and fits very snugly over the outside of the shoe and still reveals the color and shape of the shoe. Completely waterproof.

The bottom of the shoe has a groove design to increase friction and can be very non-slip.

When you get home from the woods, just take it off and rinse it off with water briefly.

You can use this shoe cover not only for bird watching in the morning, but also as a rain shoe even on rainy days. So you can wear the most comfortable shoes in the water without worrying about getting your shoes wet.

Today we have recommended two gift ideas for early morning bird watchers. They are the ORORO Heated Vest and the Shiwely Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers. They can help birdwatching this against the early morning cold as well as the dew. Prices range from $16.99 to $139.99. You can consider with the actual situation.
