The World Migratory Bird Day is observed on May 11 of every year.
It is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.
This year the theme of World Migratory Bird Day is “Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution!”
Plastic consumption by birds leads to a chronic feeling of hunger and starvation as it gives the sensation of having a full stomach without any nutritional value.
The number of seabirds dying from the effects of plastic every year is currently 1 million.
