- This event has passed.
Bird Day is not only the anniversary of the Convention, but also the time of arrival of birds from their wintering grounds. According to tradition, birdhouses and other “birdhouses” are hung at this time in anticipation of birds. The return of birds is also celebrated as the arrival of spring.
For the first time, this day was celebrated as a mass children’s holiday in the USA. The organizer was a teacher from a town in Pennsylvania. Soon he was supported by one of the popular newspapers, the Pittsburgh Telegraph Chronicle, which began popularizing Bird Day. The purpose of this action is to draw the attention of mankind to the problems of bird conservation, because they concern all countries and continents.
