The whole month of January is Adopt a Rescued Bird Month, which is further broken down into specific days celebrating various species. For instance, Jan. 20 is Bald Eagle Appreciation Day, aka a great way to celebrate our national animal. Penguin Awareness Day (not to be confused with World Penguin Awareness Day, which is celebrated later in April) is also on Jan. 20. Speaking of black and white, Jan. 31 is International Zebra Day, and a good chance to learn more about one of the world’s most fascinating animals.
