Hi Hamama Friends!
Bird Day
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. It is also the only bird that walks upright¹
- The chicken is the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurus Rex¹

🌱 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!
