Around 1 billion birds (United States) and 25 million birds (Canada) die every year by flying into glass windows. This includes windows at all levels from low level houses to high rise buildings.
!Window collisions are one of the largest threats to bird populations. However, there are several ways you can help reduce window fatality. Below are some links with steps on how to make your house bird friendly, either DIY or through reputable companies such as the American Bird Conservancy.
Follow bird migration forecasts to know when birds are on their way to you

!Cats are estimated to kill more than 2.4 billion birds annually in the U.S. and Canada. This is the #1 human-caused reason for the loss of birds, aside from habitat loss.
Cats are the greatest direct human-caused threat to birds

Birds have fewer places to safely rest during migration and to raise their young: More than 10 million acres of land in the United States were converted to developed land from 1982 to 1997

More than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are applied in the United States each year. The continent’s most widely used insecticides, called neonicotinoids or “neonics,” are lethal to birds and to the insects that birds consume.
Three-quarters of the world’s coffee farms grow their plants in the sun, destroying forests that birds and other wildlife need for food and shelter. Sun-grown coffee also often requires using environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. On the other hand, shade-grown coffee preserves a forest canopy that helps migratory birds survive the winter.
Where to Buy Bird Friendly Coffee
It’s estimated that 4,900 million metric tons of plastic have accumulated in landfills and in our environment worldwide, polluting our oceans and harming wildlife such as seabirds, whales, and turtles that mistakenly eat plastic, or become entangled in it.
Monitoring birds is essential to help protect them, but tracking the health of the world’s 10,000 bird species is an immense challenge.

Rocky Mountains National Park - I was coming down the trail and suddenly this bird is circling me with a worm, it flys away and comes back several times before I decide to leave.
I was wondering what type of bird it is and any idea as to why they were acting this way 😂

This would be the first one i’ve ever spotted on my own! Based on my research I think that’s what it was!

I know they're quite hard to see but with the geography, time and the sound can anyone identify them?
r/whatsthisbird • u/MsAlyssa • 1h ago
Just for fun. I do think they represent real birds since I can identify some.

Saw this guy and thought it may be a least bittern, but it appears I was incorrect. Based on coloration and markings, could anyone provide some insight into this magnificent creature?

Hi guys! Hope y'all's day is splendid. A family member sent me these photos. My instinct is that this bird is a type of swallow, but I'm not sure really whom I am seeing!
All I know is it is a certified cutie patootie.
Spotted around Niagara, if that helps. Any help or cute comments are appreciated 💖
