Fall migration is underway. Billions of birds are crossing cities, suburbs, and backyards each night, travelling thousands of miles, and burning half their body weight. Their survival depends on what they encounter when the sun comes up: Glass kills: A billion birds a year in the U.S. alone. Cats kill: The leading direct cause of bird mortality. Chemicals kill: One neonic-coated seed can poison a songbird. Here’s what you can do to help birds this season: - Keep cats indoors. - Plant natives that fruit in fall. - Make windows safe with Feather Friendly markers. - Turn off unnecessary lights at night to reduce disorientation. - Leave leaves — they shelter caterpillars, moths, and other food sources. The warbler in your yard tonight may winter in Peru. The sparrow at your feeder could be back in Alaska by May. Every action you take helps. #birdsafe #glasscollision #featherfriendly #birdsafeglass #education #provensolution #conservation #birdconservation #birds #glass #savebirds #...
