The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in the UK wants us all to make a special effort to feed birds on October 28, and to continue the habit all winter.


Saturday, Oct 28 is Feed the Birds Day in the UK. Organized by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Feed the Birds Day coincides with the day the clocks are turned back an hour – a sure sign that the days are getting shorter and cold weather is coming. On Oct 28, bird enthusiasts in the UK can participate in special activities happening near them: nature walks, presentations, hands-on activities like making birdfeeders or examining owl pellets, question periods and other things. And they can make an extra effort to feed the wild birds at home.

Wherever you are on Saturday, mark Feed the Birds Day by putting out a special treat for the birds in your backyard.

Find out more about Feed the Birds Day on the RSPB website.
