Why is National Bird Day celebrated on January 5?
National Bird Day, of American origin, has been celebrated annually on January 5 since the inaugural event in 2002.
This special date was chosen because January 5 is also the annual “Christmas Bird Count” day. This annual national holiday has been celebrated in the United States for quite some time. The findings provide insight into both the numbers and condition of bird species across the United States.
Because of their close similarity to dinosaur evolution, birds are considered living relics of the past. They are often keystone species in ecosystems and are indicators of their health and vitality. The Poultry Welfare Alliance established National Bird Day to raise awareness of the hardships and plight of these important animals and the ways in which we can initiate needed change to establish healthier, more sustainable relationships with them.

What is the importance of National Bird Day?
The 850 species of birds that live in the United States are among the many different bird species honored on National Bird Day. Yes, they all have beaks, wings and feathers. But then, there are notable differences.
National Bird Day falls on the same day as the three-week Christmas Bird Count, the world’s largest citizen science project counting wild birds in the United States.
Climate change, habitat loss, deforestation and other factors that have a devastating impact on life are putting many bird species at risk. These common crimes against birds will be publicly discussed and addressed on National Bird Day.
People from all over the United States participate in this event because raising awareness is one of its main purposes. This shows the day when birds should be treated with the utmost respect. We all have an opportunity on this day to spread the word about bird conservation and how to protect them.
The world’s bird population has a total of more than 9,800 species. An individual cannot see each and every one of them! But on National Bird Day, anyone interested in birds can use the event to get a glimpse of the different bird species found nearby.
