Bird Day
Shared Spaces: Creating Bird Friendly Cities & Communities
World Migratory Bird Day: May 10, 2025
Each spring, environmental organizations and bird lovers across the country come together to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day as our feathered friends return. This year’s theme, "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird Friendly Cities & Communities," highlights the importance of making urban areas safer for birds. With most Canadians living in cities, sustainable development, bird-safe design, and community engagement are crucial.
Here you will find everything you need to celebrate Bird Day and take action to save birds:
The second Saturday of May marks peak spring migration in Canada—a time to connect, admire, and advocate for these incredible travelers. As they journey across borders, we must ensure they have safe habitats along the way.
Join us in celebrating and protecting migratory birds. Wonder at their incredible journeys, learn about conservation efforts, and take action to help them thrive in our cities, towns, and villages. Together, we can make a difference for our shared spaces and bird populations!

This May 10 we'll be welcoming our birds home by making our parks, towns, and cities friendlier places for them. Together let's reduce window collisions, protect habitat, reduce pesticides, and keep our streets cat-free. There's lots you can do in your community!
