Inspired by this idea of cherishing birds, Japan designated April 10 as “Bird-Loving Day” in 1947. However, even though it\u2019s technically spring, April still has a lot of cold days\u2014sometimes even lingering snow in northern areas. So birds weren\u2019t very active at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why they decided, \u201cLet\u2019s choose a time when it\u2019s easier to see birds!\u201d And from 1950 onward, Bird Week was moved to the current dates of May 10\u201316. It\u2019s the perfect season\u2014lush greenery, lively birdsong, and great conditions for birdwatching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this week, schools and parks often host fun events like birdwatching sessions and art contests. If you take a walk in the park and pay attention, you\u2019ll likely spot sparrows or white-eyes\u2014and if you’re lucky, maybe even a kingfisher! So why not take a moment to look up at the sky during Bird Week? You might just find that everyday life feels a little richer. See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
