Hi Hamama Friends! To all the bird lovers in our Hamama community . . . . today is 'Bird Day!!' The first Bird day was celebrated over 100 years ago in 1894 by Charles Almanzo Babcock. Birds day is a day to admire our feathered friends as well as to talk about the ways that we can help preserve all bird species for future generations. 🐦 Some fun facts about birds: Most Hummingbirds weigh less than a nickel² There are about 10,000 known birds species³ Pigeons can recognize human faces² Birds Communicate Using Sound and Color² The penguin is the only bird that can swim, but not fly.

Comment below! @arlobird @1017beaksquad Hamama Grower Amanda 🐦 How to Observe Bird Day: Be extra mindful of the birds in your yard and neighborhood and enjoy watching and listening to them. If you have kids, try to have them identify birds by their song or appearance. Share your favorite bird-watching experiences. Promote habitat conservation and preservation using #BirdDay to post on social media. @dande_nirvana @margoellenor75 Hamama Grower Pamela F 🌱 Did you know that microgreens are great for your birds because the fiber tends to break down easier than full-grown plants & it cleanses their digestive tracts while giving them the right nutrients! 🌱 Microgreens are full of Omega 3’s, minerals and fiber, vitamins, and anti-cancer polyphenols.¹ You can read more about birds and microgreens on our Hamama Pets: Our Furry, Feathered, & Scaly Friends blog post! @missdanger1 Hamama Grower Janel @margoellenor75 Our very own Carolyn, shows a little extra love to her chickens by treating them to fresh microgreens served in a Papaya!
