Wow, how time flies...
It has now been ten whole years since Birds-Club was founded! Can you believe that?!
We have come a long way since grugster created the club. Back then, there weren't even any official groups. We used a normal user profile for our group, and admin had to take turns logging in to help curate the gallery. When Groups premiered in 2009 or 2010, we were one of the first clubs to take advantage of the new format. Our group has had its ups and downs, and at the end of the day, we will always be here for your bird art addiction! 
Now, it's time for a feature!
Here is some artwork from our still-active admin. Thanks to every one of you for volunteering your time with this group

April 8 - Draw a Bird Day
Draw a Bird Day
Today, April 8, is Draw a Bird Day 2015. Draw a Bird Day commemorates the memory of Dorie Cooper, a girl who cheered up her uncle and other war veterans by asking them to draw birds for her. Sadly, she was killed in a car accident at age 10, and the war vets, nurses, and doctors filled her coffin with bird drawings to remember her by. Now, every year on her birthday, people honor her memory by drawing a bird. You can read more about her story here.
If you draw a bird and upload it to DeviantArt today, please comment on this journal with a link to your drawing! It will be featured in this journal.
