Forums - General - Birds and Insects Disappearing

Dinosaurs adapted and changed to live through multiple extinction events just to die by pesticides.

I'm definitely worried, but at the same time, it would be tempting to say that some insects do in fact need to disappear. (Obviously that's not true, but ticks and mosquitoes suck - quite literally too.)

Also, not quite sure what's up with that, but in the recent years, it feels like there's been an increasing number of jackdaws where I live. I'm not sure I'd even seen a jackdaw by the time I was 18 or even a long time after that, but this decade, it feels like it's the bird I'm most likely to see outside besides gulls (I live in a fairly urban environment).



Ok, anybody here who doesn't take this seriously or care about what's happening, get out. I didn't start a thread about something that concerns me just to attract amoral idiots.



Maybe the birb flew somewhere else.



For birds in particular, out door cats are a massive problem. People should keep their cats inside.

Glad I do that.

No idea how accurate the data is, but many sites claim cats kill 69% of US songbirds, and the raw numbers are 2,000,000,000 a year...  crazy.
