For every share and like the video receives, €0.25 will be donated to the global conservation charity BirdLife International, who will use the funds for their vital work in species and habitat protection, advocacy and conservation.
Redbreast Irish Whiskey has a longstanding commitment to
bird conservation, and over the years the whiskey has focused on ways to give
back to well-known yet vulnerable species who have come under increasing
pressure.
BirdLife’s recent State of the World Birds 2022 report,
revealed that nearly half of all bird species are in trouble and one in eight
are sadly heading towards extinction. This year, Robin and Chris are on a
mission to get people involved in the whiskey's ongoing ambition to keep the
common birds common.
Commenting on the news, Chris O'Dowd, said: “It has been a
pleasure to team up with Redbreast Irish Whiskey and Robin to speak up for the
birds and celebrate Robin Redbreast Day. I feel this year we’ve raised the bar,
or more so the branch, in how we draw more people into the cause. I’m proud of
how it all turned out, but even more proud that I did all my own stunt work; I
wish I could say the same for Robin.”
Redbreast is aiming to raise up to €100,000 for BirdLife
International. You can watch the video starring Chris O’Dowd via: youtube.com
