Guelph Bird Day is back and birdier than ever!

Join the University of Guelph Arboretum and Bird Safe Guelph on Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at The Arboretum Centre for a free, drop-in celebration of all things bird!

This all-ages event has something for everyone. Take part in free guided bird walks, check out hands-on activities, browse booths with bird-related art from local artists, and connect with local nature-based groups at their tables. Plus, Wild Ontario will be there with their live raptors for an up-close look at some incredible feathered ambassadors.

No registration for Bird Day is required—just dress for the weather, bring your binoculars if you have them, and get ready for a morning full of sightings, surprises, and springtime birdsong. We will have some guided bird walks that will require pre-registration (stay tuned for registration links). With migration in full swing, it’s the perfect chance to spot a wide variety of species, especially warblers!

Follow the University of Guelph Arboretum on Instagram or Facebook for updates as the day approaches. We can’t wait to see you there!
