'World Migratory Bird Day' quotes, messages and wishes you can forward on this special day

World Migratory Bird Day is celebrated on May 9 every year. The concept of celebrating World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) was first introduced in 2006 and since then it has become an annual awareness-raising campaign featuring the requirement for the protection of migratory birds and their environments.

It has a worldwide effort involved and is an effective device to help raise worldwide consciousness of the dangers faced by migratory birds, their biological significance, and the requirement for global participation to preserve them. Consistently, individuals around the globe make a move and organize public events, for example, bird festivals, education programs, exhibitions and bird-watching excursions to celebrate WMBD. In 2020, World Migratory Bird Day dispatches its yearly conservation campaign with the slogan “Birds Connect Our World.”
