General Election Day is also the last day to vote for Britain’s national bird. Choose your favourite from a shortlist of 10 birds and cast your vote on the Vote National Bird Website by midnight on 7th May. Ask your parents to help you vote as you will need to enter an email address and tick a box so you don’t receive marketing information.
Find out about each of the birds and see pictures here. You can also hear what each bird sounds like on a BBCs Tweet of the Day podcast
What bird did you vote for? Do you have a favourite bird that isn’t on the short list?
NB Because of media coverage this morning, the voting website is running very slowly, you may have to try later in the day.
