This is misleading: Habitat destruction, e.g. Lack of thorny hedges and maize monoculture decimated wild animal population.

The source for the bird loss is: Loss et al. Love it when people have fitting names like that. A painter named Brush, an investment banker named Rich, a hairdresser named Mane, etc.

What about the loss of habitat, anyone who knows even a little bit about birds, at least in the western hemisphere, know that thousands of species only mate in certain areas in certain times of years. The loss of habitats for mating, the loss of food sources in the remaining habitats from pesticides, and the fact that many pesticides and other pollutants LITERALLY DEGRADE BIRD SHELLS AND KILL THEM BEFORE THEY HATCH

House cats shouldn't be putting a fucking dent in bird populations and it's both absurd to think they're the real threat and disingenuous to the causes of ill that plague our ecology

I'm not shitting on you, OP, but in definitely shitting on the person who made this infographic and I'm shitting on the people who continue to push the myth that cats are the leading cause of loss in bird populations. They may kill many birds, but they're not the reason we're losing them. Not at all by far.

What about deforestation and farming ?

Classic Big Dog propaganda.

Vehicles

Save birds - stay indoors with the cats.

Don't believe this, OP is a cat trying to get rid of a competitor.

Oh hey it’s foone

That's what happens when you have our government drones run on a windows system

CATS/Windows

I've laughed out loud twice to this.

You know, I've never seen a cat kill a bird.
