More about National Bird Day.

Today nearly 12 percent of the world’s 9,800 bird species may face extinction within the next century,  including nearly one-third of the world’s 330 parrot species; and millions of captive birds lead miserable lives languishing in cages.

Public awareness and education about the plight of birds in the wild and in captivity are essential to addressing these critical conservation and animal welfare issues and is National Bird Day’s reason for being. www.NationalBirdDay.com

Anyone wishing to take the FREE "CBS Early Show Bus" from Times Square should get to the east side of 47th Street and 8th Avenue by the 7:00 a.m. daily departure time.
