There are nearly 3 million birds gone since 1970.
What can we do to help?
7 Simple Ways to Save Birds:
1. Make Windows Safer, Day and Night - Simple adjustments to your windows can save birds’ lives.
2. Keep Cats Indoors - Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives. Outdoor cats kill more birds than any other non-native threat.
3. Reduce Lawn by Planting Native Species - The U.S. has 63 million acres of lawn. That’s a huge potential for supporting wildlife.
4. Avoid Pesticides - Look for organic food choices and cut out some of the 1 billion pounds of pesticides used in the U.S. each year.
5. Drink Coffee That’s Good for Birds - Shade-grown coffees are delicious, economically beneficial to farmers, and help more than 42 species of North American songbirds.
6. Protect Our Planet From Plastics - 91% of plastics are not recycled, and they take 400 years to degrade.
7. Watch Birds, Share What You See - Bird watchers are one of science’s most vital sources of data on how the ecological world is faring.
