NATIONAL BIRD DAY: History!!!


Birds are the most majestic animals on our planet out of all the other life forms. They are the vivid ones, teeming with melodic music and vibrant hues. We commemorate National Bird Day because we have utilised birds as pets, food, and even for their feathers.


Every year on january 5th, nature admirers, bird lovers, and bird watchers across the nation observe National Bird Day. Additionally, it's one of numerous official holidays honouring birds.

What to do on National Bird day?

There are numerous ways to mark this day.

  • Grab a book on bird identification. It will assist you in identifying local species and those that frequent your bird feeders.
  • Improve the curb appeal of your backyard. Add feeders, cover, and other things. Discover the favourite foods of the local birds and watch them swarm to your refuge.
  • Make a donation to a bird sanctuary or aviary that works to increase the chances of endangered birds surviving.

Bidders obtain extremely high prices for some of the birds they sell on the black market, which is where illegal bird trade occurs. Exotic birds like macaws, eagles, and badgers are traded for their eye-catching feathers, for use as pets, and even for human consumption. Birds may completely vanish as a result of this. Can you ever conceive a world where people cannot see a parrot in person?

These were the issues that AWC talked about in 2002, which was twenty years ago. The belief that immediate action was necessary to safeguard birds inspired the establishment of National Bird Day. In order to raise public awareness about bird welfare, Born Free USA and the Avian Welfare Coalition established the first annual National Bird Day in 2002.
