The World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is celebrated every year on May 11. The aim behind the celebration of this annual event is to create awareness about the need for conservation of habitats of migratory birds. There is also a need to draw the attention to the threats faced by these birds and also the measured to be taken for their conservation. The event is marked by public events and educational programmes, exhibition and bird-watching excursions. This year's theme for World Migratory Bird Day is 'Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution!' We all know that plastic pollution is a threat to the marine ecosystem, it is also an equal threat for many avian species. On this World Migratory Bird Day 2019, let’s take a look at some migratory birds who share space with us.
