World Migratory Bird Day is officially celebrated on the second Saturday of May in Canada and the US, and the second Saturday of October in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.

However, every day is Bird Day, and you can celebrate birds and host events any day of the year!

Time to un-ruffle your feathers to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day! At least 4,000 different species of birds migrate, which adds up to about 40% of the entire avian population. And they all do it in pursuit of food. Twice every year, these birds will fly to warmer climates for the winters, and then return home to breed. As humans, we can all appreciate the value of following food all around the globe. Let’s celebrate our feathered friends today!
