The Birdorable Bonanza has been an annual tradition on our website since 2009. We add new birds to Birdorable throughout the year, but during a Bonanza we add one every day, revealing a new Birdorable bird every day for a number of days. For 15 consecutive years, we have shared these new birds on our Facebook, Twitter / X and Instagram pages with an article on our blog highlighting important information about the bird, such as its habitat, behaviors, and conservation status. We also post a silhouette preview for the next day's bird, allowing our readers to guess the next bird.
Whether you're a seasoned bird watcher or new to birding, the Birdorable Bonanza offers something for everyone to enjoy and learn. Join us in this annual celebration, and explore the unique traits and stories of each new bird we introduce. We'll be having another Birdorable Bonanza later in the year!
