North American bird populations have declined by nearly 3 billion since the 1970s, due to habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and pesticides. You can help make the world a better place for birds and wildlife with just a few simple actions. 1) Make windows safer by using decals, screens, soap, or string to keep birds from hitting them. 2) Keep cats indoors. 3) Use native plants to provide food and shelter. 4) Avoid pesticides. 5) Drink shade-grown, forest-friendly coffee. 6) Use less plastic to limit waste. 7) Watch birds and share what you see to help monitor their populations.
