May 4, 2022 - Bird Day | National Star Wars Day

Welcome to May 4, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate fancy birds and feeling the force.Male birds tend to be more beautiful than their female companions. And there’s a reason. In the bird world, the female chooses her mate based on how he woos her—and this involves catching her eye. Take, the Costa’s Hummingbird, who puts on an elaborate aerial show in front of the lady he’s courting. Twisting and turning and doing mid-air tricks, he shows off his radiant green body in the hopes that she’ll want him. But then he has to pull off the big finale: puffing out the plumes on his head to look like a big purple dandelion. And even then, she might shrug and fly away. Suddenly, swiping right doesn’t seem like such a big deal, does it? On <a href="https://nationaldaycalendar.com/bird-day-may-4/">Bird Day</a> celebrate the eye-catching dance rituals that you thankfully don’t have to pull off yourself.In the summer of 1980, filmgoers around the world couldn’t stop buzzing about one of the biggest plot twists ever to come out of Hollywood. The first Star Wars was a massive hit, but The Empire Strikes Back made the budding franchise legendary. And it did so with one simple phrase: “Luke, I am your father.” When Darth Vader uttered that line, it immediately became one of the most famous lines ever spoken on film. And in the 40+ years since, Star Wars has kept on making memories and inspiring audiences. Raise your lightsabers and gather your droids!
