Birds of Canada (banknotes)
Okay, imagine that there are these special pieces of paper that people use to buy things. They are called banknotes. And in Canada, the country where we live, they have some special banknotes that have pictures of birds on them!
You see, Canada is a big country with lots of different types of birds. Some birds are really common and you might see them in your backyard, like the loon or the Canada goose. Other birds are a bit more rare and you might only see them if you go to special places like forests or lakes.
The people who make the banknotes in Canada thought it would be really cool to put pictures of these birds on the money. It is a way to show how special these birds are and also to celebrate the beauty of nature in Canada.
So, they chose certain birds that are known and loved by people in Canada. One of the banknotes has a picture of a loon on it. The loon is a big bird that loves to swim in lakes. It has beautiful black and white feathers and a special call that sounds really cool. You might even hear it if you go camping near a lake!
Another banknote has a picture of a Canada goose. These birds are really good at flying long distances in big V-shaped formations. They are famous for their honking sound and you might see them flying in the sky during fall when they migrate to warmer places.
There are other banknotes that show different birds like the snowy owl and the great blue heron. The snowy owl is a big, fluffy bird that lives in the Arctic and has white feathers to help it blend in with the snow. The great blue heron is a tall bird that can stand perfectly still for a long time and catch fish with its long beak.
These banknotes are like little pieces of art that you can carry with you. They are also a way to learn about and appreciate the wonderful birds that make Canada their home. So next time you see a bird flying in the sky, just imagine it on a banknote and remember how special and beautiful our feathered friends are!
