National Zoo Lovers Day-- A day for all who love visiting the zoo and seeing all the unique animals who call the zoo home. A day when the world celebrates the education and awareness brought by zoos around the world. Zoos allow us to observe these animals in their habitats and learn about their habits. Zoos also allow us to help protect endangered species through research and reproduction in captivity. In the U.S., an estimated 175 million people visit one of the nation's 350 zoos every year.

Draw a Picture of a Bird Day/Draw a Bird Day
- In 1943, 7-year-old Dorie Cooper visited her uncle in the hospital (who was wounded in the war) and asked him to draw her a bird. This turned into a contest, and soon all the men on the ward got involved. When Dorie died in a car accident three years later, the soldiers, nurses, and doctors filled her coffin with bird pictures. Ever since then, those men and women remembered the little girl who brought hope to the hospital ward by drawing birds on her birthday, April 8th.
Buddha's Birthday
- Prince Siddhartha Gautama's birthday is a holiday traditionally celebrated in Mahayana Buddhism. In Japan, Buddha's birthday -- Hana Matsuri, or
Flower Festival-- is celebrated every year on April 8th. Those who go to temples bring offerings of fresh spring flowers. It is a time for hanging lanterns and enjoying communal meals. Joyous parades of musicians, dancers, floats, and dragons are common throughout Asia.
