World Migratory Bird Day at Saint Louis Zoo

Join us at the Bird House as we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. This day highlights the need to conserve migratory birds and protect their habitats. Did you know the accumulation of plastic and plastic pollution have become a worldwide epidemic and a primary threat to birds across the globe? An estimated 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic has been produced since its introduction in the 1950s. 91% of plastic is not recycled but rather discarded as waste, accumulating in landfills and the natural environment. Learn how plastic affects birds and how you can help protect them.
