Bird Day

Bird Day

The health of the global bird population is a reflection of and early warning system for our wider ecological health, and current research indicates that up to 12% of all species of birds may be at risk of becoming extinct in the next century. Bird Day aims to raise awareness of the plights faced by common and rare birds, from disease and environmental factors to illegal trade and welfare in captivity.

Every year on January 5th, people around the world celebrate Bird Day. This holiday was created to help raise awareness about the importance of birds and their habitats. Here are three reasons why you should celebrate Bird Day too!
