Happy National Bird Day! Created by Born Free USA and the Avian Welfare Coalition, this annual day of compassionate recognition focuses on educating people to fight the international trade in wild birds, raising awareness about humane standards of care for pet birds, and promoting a deeper respect for and understanding of global avian conservation issues. You can get involved in the National Bird Day celebration: - Check out our Poetry Uncaged contest winners and read their inspiring poetry! - Send a fun National Bird Day e-card to family and friends! - Follow our special eight-part blog series written by Born Free USAs resident avian expert, Barry MacKay. - Order the beloved childrens book, Lucky, which tells the inspiring true story of Lucky the lorikeet. Purchase a copy for your child or reading club, or donate one to your local library or school. - Download, print, or order the 2015 National Bird Day poster to help spread the word. Lets celebrate our feathered friends and fight for their humane treatment—not just today, but all year long! Think Outside the Cage!
