Join the Flock in Celebrating Birds! 🐦
Two big bird-focused events are happening this weekend!
#OctoberBigDay and
#WorldMigratoryBirdDay—both on October 12—are about celebrating the amazing journeys birds take and the need to protect them.
Many migratory birds travel thousands of miles, facing huge challenges like habitat loss, window collisions, and extreme weather. They need safe places to rest and refuel along the way, but many of these spots are disappearing. Long-distance travellers face extra risks like light pollution, hunting, and predators like domestic cats.
While World Migratory Bird Day reminds us that we all have a role to play in bird conservation, October Big Day is all about joining birders worldwide in counting as many bird species as possible!
You can help birds in the following ways:
Make your windows bird-friendly with Feather Friendly or Bird Divert markers
