This year, the World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD), will be observed on 11th May and 12th October.

The WMBD takes on special significance this year with its theme focused on “The Importance of Insects for Migratory Birds”.

The theme sheds light on the intricate ecological relationships between insects and migratory birds, highlighting the crucial role that insects play in the survival and migration patterns of avian species. As migratory birds traverse vast distances in search of food and breeding grounds, they rely heavily on insects as a primary source of nutrition along their migratory routes.

By promoting international cooperation and community engagement, WMBD strives to ensure the long-term survival of migratory bird species and their invaluable contributions to biodiversity and ecosystem services.
