Birdability Week

Birdability Week is a celebration of birders with disabilities and other health concerns, as well as an opportunity to share resources and ideas to help the birding community become accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to everybody! It is an annual collection of events the third week of each October, drawing inspiration from other inclusive celebrations such as #BlackBirdersWeek, Latino Conservation Week and Let’s Go Birding Together.

Birdability Week 2026 is October 19-25, 2026!

Mark your calendars.

Birdability Week returns October 19 through 25, 2026, and we cannot wait to gather again in celebration of access, belonging, and the deep joy of birds. This year’s theme is Bird Where You Are, and we can’t wait to bird with you!
