Do you know about "Sparrow Day"? A travel program themed around observing sparrows, familiar birds in cities and fields, is being conducted.

Ulsan City and the Taehwagang Ecotourism Council announced on the 15th that from the 20th to the 24th, a birdwatching tour bus will operate to observe sparrows living in areas such as Taehwagang and Dongcheon.

This event was organized to promote "World Sparrow Day" on March 20 and to encourage people to pay attention to sparrows in urban areas again.

The sparrow birdwatching tour bus runs twice daily at 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM. It departs from the Taehwagang National Garden Phase 1 Annex Parking Lot, and the tour lasts about three hours.

Participants will listen to explanations about the ecology and characteristics of sparrows from a natural environment guide and observe them directly. Additionally, in places with many sparrows, there will be an experience of feeding sparrows with grains, their food.

Citizens who wish to participate can make reservations on the Taehwagang Ecotourism Council website. Reservations can be made individually, as a family, or as a group, with a capacity of 12 people per session. Any Ulsan citizen can apply, but personal accident insurance must be subscribed. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Taehwagang Exploration Information Center.

An official from Ulsan City said, "Although sparrows are nearby, opportunities to observe them closely and learn about their ecology are rare," adding, "We hope this will be a time to study sparrows."

World Sparrow Day was established in 2009 by the Indian environmental organization "Nature Forever Society" together with the French "Eco-Sys Action Foundation" to protect urban sparrows.
