Why do we care about birds?
1 in 8 bird species is threatened with extinction in Canada. Birds are bio-indicators. Places rich in bird species are often rich in other forms of biodiversity. Birds are the best documented of all animal and plant groups. Birds have beautiful songs and beautiful flights. Birds are symbolic (from the peace dove to the symbol for twitter…) In conserving birds, we conserve entire ecosystems which is good for birds, other wildlife, and people.
