The great fall bird migration has started! And Florida is an important stopover site for millions of migrating birds, as they travel from their breeding grounds in North America to their wintering grounds in Central and South America. Sadly, as our bird populations increase and so do the human-causes of death. As you can see from the chart, cats kill far more birds that all the other hazards combined!
Three actions by all of us can have the greatest impacts: 1) Educate others – friends, family, neighbors…. 2) Keep your cats indoors, and 3) reduce window collisions – go to this link for ideas – www.fws.gov/story/threats-birds-collisions-buildings-glass .
