Cats. Cats are BY FAR the biggest killer of wild birds.

I love cats,and dont advocate getting rid of them. We also shouldnt get rid of high-rises, or wind turbines. Find ways to make them all safer for birds, and encourage birds to procreate more.

Ok, but why is Zelensky collecting them?

Isn't he busy?

Zelensky has his priorities straight

High rises aren't really a problem either. I'd wager that agricultural and pest control practices, automobile traffic, and urban sprawl each individually kill orders of magnitude more birds.

By far the biggest killer of birds are cats that people let out of their homes. They kill for fun and they kill so, so many. People really need to stop letting their cats out.

I suspect there are enough feral cats for that to make no real difference at all

Depends on where you live, some countries sterilize wild cats which makes a huge dent in the wild cat population.

Up to the point where organizations are importing cats from different countries.

My high rise flats are a problem for that one dumb pigeon that must have been distracted qy some girl pigeons tits or something because it flew straight into the side and died. None of the otheg pigeons have ever done that they may already be in commited relationships

At first glance I thought the dudes in the image were playing warhammer or something

The wind turbines killing birds argument is so stupid. It's full of ignorance.
