RSPB Feed the Birds Day (historical campaign)

The RSPB’s 2004–05 annual review records that Feed the Birds Day attracted 21,000 people to 86 events across the UK in October. Current RSPB first-party materials instead promote Big Garden Birdwatch as a separately scheduled current event, so an old Feed the Birds Day date is not projected forward.
