Overview
About the event
While some people tend to think of owls during October because of their relationships with spooky Halloween, this day is set aside to be celebrated in early August!
The event was started through the efforts of owl and bird conservationists who wanted more people to know and take action about the decline in the population of many owl species.
Since its inception, International Owl Awareness Day has been promoted by several different reputable organizations and institutions, such as the International Owl Center, the University of Bath, the American Eagle Foundation, and more.
