🌿 National Bird Day: Celebrating Our Feathered Friends! 🐦

Today, we honor the beauty and wonder of birds—the colorful creatures that fill our skies with life and song! Whether it’s a soaring eagle, a chirping sparrow, or a graceful heron, birds play a vital role in keeping our ecosystems balanced.

Let’s protect their habitats, learn about different species, and appreciate the diversity they bring to our world. Small actions like planting native trees or supporting wildlife conservation make a big difference!

🕊️ What’s your favorite bird? Share with us below!
