National Bird Day

January 5, 2009 in Support with 2 comments

Today, January 5th, is National Bird Day, a day to appreciate our own native wild birds and a day to reflect on how we treat the native birds of other countries. On this 6th annual National Bird Day Born Free USA and the Avian Welfare Coaltion are calling on activists around the United States to take action on behalf of captive birds by drawing attention to the exploitation of other countries' native birds by the U.S. pet industry. An online auction that starts today supports the cause. For more information visit the official website at NationalBirdDay.com.
