International Bird Day is a global celebration of birds. It is celebrated annually on May 4th and provides an opportunity for people around the world to learn about the importance of birds in our environment and how we can help protect them. This year's theme, "Birds in Our World", encourages everyone to appreciate the beauty and diversity of birds, as well as their critical role in our planet's ecology.
There are over 10,000 species of birds around the world, from hummingbirds to bald eagles to penguins. They come in all shapes and sizes, with feathers that can be every color of the rainbow. Birds play a vital role in ecosystems by pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, controlling pests, and providing food for other animals. They are also important indicators of environmental health; when bird populations decline it often means that something is wrong with our planet.
That's why it's so important to celebrate International Bird Day each year! By learning more about these amazing creatures we can better understand how they fit into our world and what we need to do to protect them for future generations. So mark your calendars for May 4th 2019 and join us in celebrating International Bird Day!
