[1] Stop climate change. Even if we end releasing greenhouse gases now, there will be continued warming by the gases released earlier. Birds will have to face a warmer planet in the coming years.
[2] Preserve bird habitats. Restore them where they have been lost. Build artificial nesting sites (simple cages for sparrows to bring them back).
[3] Continues to observe and collect data on when birds arrive at certain spots, when their numbers decline, and the connection between their numbers and the year’s temperature patterns.
[4] Grow more trees. They help to balance climate changes, keep CO2 level low and give the birds a chance to nest and survive.
[5] Keep your cat indoors. Each year, outdoor cats kill more than a billion birds in the U.S. and Canada; keeping cats inside is safer for them and better for birds.
[6] Make the spaces around your house friendly for birds. Gardens, trees, and native flowers are good for people and birds.
[7] In a factory outside Chennai, migratory birds hit the glass windows often and crashed to the ground. The management built large nets under every window to save the birds.
[8] Wherever you find a place and time, talk about birds and the need to protect them. More than 30% of our breeding birds are already declining and are in need of conservation action.
