Calling all South African bird lovers! It’s time to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on October 11, a global campaign organised by the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA), in partnership with Environment for the Americas. Held biannually on the second Saturday of May and October, this initiative champions international efforts to protect migratory birds and their habitats. The 2025 theme, “Shared Spaces: Creating Bird- Friendly Cities and Communities,” encourages urban designs that incorporate green spaces and reduce pollution to support both birds and people.

Known for its epic trek from Canada’s forests to Mexico’s sunny plains, this bird dazzles with vibrant yellow plumage in spring and summer, moulting to a subtle olive shade for winter. Often seen in flocks weaving through fields and gardens, the seed-loving goldfinch fills the air with its cheerful, warbling song. “These birds are so stunning ...
