مع توسّع المدن وتقلص الموائل الطبيعية، تفقد الطيور المهاجرة أماكن الراحة والتغذية. في #اليوم_العالمي_للطيور_المهاجرة دعونا نجعل مدننا صديقة للطيور. انضموا إلى حركة #مساحات_مشتركة #SharedSpaces @WMBD

Les villes s’étendent, les habitats naturels rétrécissent. Les oiseaux migrateurs manquent de lieux pour se reposer et se nourrir. Pour cette #JournéeMondialeDesOiseauxMigrateurs, faisons de nos villes des refuges sûrs. #SharedSpaces @WMBD. worldmigratorybirdday.org

We all have a part to play in supporting migratory birds! Whether it’s reducing pesticides at home or working with policymakers and city planners, we can all get involved and promote bird conservation together. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay @WMBD

Today is World Migratory Bird Day! 🦜🪿 Migratory birds face major challenges in and around urban landscapes. Under this year’s theme, "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities," here are a few practical ways you can help create a world where both birds and people can thrive together: Plant native plants 🌱– they provide food, shelter, and support pollinators. Prevent collisions 🪟– use bird-safe glass or window films. Dim the lights 💡– reduce nighttime lighting during bird migration. Avoid pesticides 🐛– choose organic methods to protect insects and water. Say “no” to plastic waste ♻️– help prevent birds from ingesting it or getting entangled. Keep cats away 🐈– cats kill birds so keep them indoors, leashed, or in enclosures. Educate & encourage 🌇– raise awareness and support bird-friendly policies & urban planning.

🕊️ The theme for #WorldMigratoryBirdDay 2025, "Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities," reminds us that every community, regardless of size or setting, can be a haven for migratory birds. 🦆 Wetlands whether urban or rural are stopovers, nesting grounds and sanctuaries that offer food, shelter and rest.

Whether in the city or the countryside, all communities can support migratory birds by adopting bird-friendly practices. These include: creating healthy habitats, implementing effective anti-collision measures, reducing pollution, providing ample food sources for birds. #WMBD2025
