Every year, millions of birds take flight on epic journeys across continents, linking ecosystems and cultures like winged superheroes on a global tour. 🐦✨
World Migratory Bird Day lands on the second Saturday of May and October, shining a spotlight on the need for international teamwork to protect these aerial visitors and the habitats they rely on. This year’s theme — "Shared spaces: Creating bird-friendly cities and communities" — reminds us that people and nature can thrive together.
From mountain peaks to coastal wetlands, these travelers glide over farmlands and cityscapes, showing us moments of peaceful coexistence. 🌄🏙️ Each flap of their wings connects forests, fields and shorelines across the globe.
Want to help? Start small: plant native flowers, reduce glass reflections, or set up a balcony feeder. Together, we can craft shared spaces where birds and people feel at home. 🌸🏡
Grab your binoculars and join the celebration! Keep your eyes on the skies — the next great migration is just around the corner. 🌍✈️
