name of several holidays celebrating birds. The first such holiday was
established by Charles Babcock, the Oil City superintendent of schools,
in 1894. National Bird Day is an annual holiday with half a million
adherents who celebrate through birdwatching, studying birds, and other
bird-related activities. Bird adoption is a particularly important
National Bird Day activity. According to the newspaper Atlantic Journal
Constitution, many bird enthusiasts celebrate by adopting birds and by
educating future bird owners about the special issues involved with
taking care of birds, including their "screaming, biting, constant
cleanups, the need for daily interaction and a varied diet". National
Bird Day takes every year on the fifth day of the first month.
