Event Description

Saturday May 13th is the day to celebrate the amazing things birds do:

Migrating birds use the stars, sun, wind patterns and landforms for navigation. No sat nav.

And birds may fly from 15-600 miles or more per day during migration. Phew.

Migrating birds travel at speeds ranging from 15-50 miles per hour - not bad!

Celebrate by sending bird mailart on Saturday May 14th 2017 - to me or to anyone.

Let's just get lots of birds in the post. I will blog on my IUOMA page.

Comment by FinnBadger on May 23, 2017 at 11:05pm: Your bird arrived today, stripygoose - thank you!

Glad to see my birds arrived in London - here's the bonus bird on the envelope... well, I guess 2 birds if you count the stamp (even though chickens can't fly, they can migrate through the post).
