China Bird Festival 2007 
Although the World Bird Festival of BirdLife International was not organized in Oct 2007, the China Bird Festival still continued with the support of BirdLife International and Darwin Initiative. To welcome the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, this year Festival was given a special theme "Give Birds a Home" and a "Bird Nest" logo was designed. In the logo, you can see a blue bird sitting in a nest and in fact the blue bird is also the Simplified Chinese word of "fly". Totally 39 activities were held in Beijing, Liaoning, Fujian, Henan, Kunming, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Sichuan, Wuhan and Zhejiang, 13 more activities organized than last year! At least 45,000 citizens and teachers and students from 49 schools shared the joy during the Festival!
