Key Points
The Senate officially named May 10, 2025, as World Migratory Bird Day. This day is meant to help people learn about the importance of birds that travel long distances every year.
Birds help the environment by eating pests, spreading seeds, and pollinating plants. However, North America has lost about 3 billion birds over the last 50 years due to habitat loss and pollution.
Birdwatching is a big part of the economy. Nearly 100 million Americans participate in bird-related activities, which brings in about $279 billion in total economic value.
This year's theme focuses on making cities safer for birds. It encourages communities to use bird-friendly building designs and reduce light pollution to help birds travel safely.
