World Bird Migratory Day is an annual awareness campaign celebrated on October 9th. The day is marked to highlight the need to conserve the migratory Birds and their ecosystems. It aims to generate awareness about the threats faced by these species and promote ways to help and maintain ecological balance.
Each year, World Migratory Bird Day is organised with a unique theme focusing on different aspects of conservation. The theme of 2021 is ‘Sing, Fly, Soar – Like A Bird’. This theme acts as a call for people across the globe to use their voices to amplify the need for international cooperation to conserve migratory birds and their habitats. This can be done by putting our social media accounts to good use. The theme also focuses on appreciating birds and their habitats in different parts of the country.
