How did you come to Celebrate Urban Birds?  Was it because you wanted to share your love of birds and nature with someone else?  Maybe with a grandparent, grandchild, neighbors, co-workers, members of your club?

You might Celebrate Urban Birds with family, by yourself, or in the middle of the city...we consider all those Celebrations to be events, both large and small; as easy as you and your children watching the feeder in the back yard, or a big grand celebration in your neighborhood park, with dance, music, and art activities.
