National Birds Day

Every year on January 5, the United States of America observes the day as National Birds Day to raise awareness about the role of birds in our ecosystem.
The day was started by the initiative of the Avian Welfare Coalition, which works to promote awareness for birds that are captured or produced in captivity for either financial gain or for human amusement.
The theme of this year's National Birds Day is 'Right To Fight'. It resonates with the flight of a bird that symbolises freedom.

World Introvert Day

World Introvert Day is a special day celebrated annually on January 2 to recognise and appreciate the unique personalities and strengths of introverts.
World Introvert Day was created by German psychologist Felicitas Heyne who frequently wrote on introversion. He felt introverts deserved a quiet day after the marathon of holiday and celebrations that started with Thanksgiving/Christmas and ended on the New Year's Day. The day could help them recharge and prepare themselves for the days ahead.
