TODAY IS BIRD DAY
There are a lot of different species of birds in the world. Different people have different relationships with the various species. As such, one could easily imagine that there are actually numerous Bird Days in the world, serving different purposes varying by region.
How to Celebrate Bird Day
Birds are important. Many of them sing and quite a few of them look pretty. Of course, many species of birds are also eaten by humans, but we do think that it might be a little inappropriate to go quail hunting in honour of Bird Day, as delicious as quails are. On a more serious note, approximately 12 percent of the world’s bird species could face extinction in the next century. That includes nearly a third of the 330 different species of parrots.
Things don’t look a lot better for numerous species of songbirds, not to mention some penguin species and others like the kiwi bird. The largest components of these threats of extinction are habitat destruction and pet trade. You should celebrate the day by learning about all of the wonders of birds and educating your friends, because the survival of the world’s birds hinges on public awareness as well as support for conservation.
