HAPPY CATS, HEALTHY BIRDS
Practical solutions abound to protect birds while keeping pet cats safe.
where 20+ years of bold action, focus on results, and partnership are bringing back the birds across the Western Hemisphere. Our mission is clear: to conserve native birds and their habitats across the Americas. In doing so, we benefit not only American birds but all other species as well.
Our fearless approach to conservation drives all that we do, and the results are measurable. We’ve made significant strides to safeguard rare birds, conserve important bird habitat, reduce top threats to birds, and build an Americas-wide community of bird conservationists.
Toxic neonicotinoids are in hundreds of products, from seeds to salad bars.
With support from the Leon Levy Foundation, we work to make wind energy "bird-smart."
With our partners, we're protecting places migratory birds need most.

Canada joins the UK in phasing out neonicotinoid pesticides ("neonics"). Neonics are toxic to bees and #birds too. www.cbc.ca/news/technology/pesticides-bees-1.4785950. Tell Congress that it's time for the United States to get serious about neonics! >> abcbirds.org/action/petition-neonics

Martha the Passenger Pigeon (left) was the last of her kind. As we all know, the species is now extinct. abcbirds.org/martha-the-last-of-her-kind/

It's a sad story that inspires us every day to keep working hard to prevent bird extinctions!
Thanks to the settlers. Another deed to add to their list of genocide & illegal occupation of land.
Appreciate your comments and just wonder if the species we,as mankind, have eliminated are but arrows pointing to our own demise??
Earth provides all that man needs, but not enough for mans greed. Just another example that man's greed is killing us all.
Totally due to human greed and stupidity.
I have a tattoo of Martha. Iconic.
And once upon a time Passenger Pigeons darkened the sky with the size of their flocks...It didn't take humans very long to eradicate them to extinction......we are not what we could be.
I read that the son of a farmer in Ohio shot the last wild passenger pigeon. 🙁
Is this what we called homing pigeons?
Their are more in Mississippi
The extinction of a species is horrible and wreaks havoc on our ecosystem. I’ve read similar (not intending to hijack the thread but the aviary extinction aspect is pertinent) about the homing pigeon but that some believe they’re just not able to function as normal due to concentrated numbers of invisible airwaves.
Just beyond sad.
So sad. Feel bad for all the pigeons.
ja. ist der denn krank? warum die Reduktion?
Such a beautiful bird.
Extinct is not forever.
😭
They needed large population numbers in order to breed
The wildlife trade has deep roots, apparently: Archaeologists have found evidence of captive breeding of Scarlet Macaws as far back as 900 C.E. The birds may have played a symbolic role in the cultures of people in the American Southwest. Phys.org
