If all of us hung up our feeders in the garage and stopped feeding the local bird population, they would be fine. With 14 feeding stations on my property, I spend a lot of time — and also money — providing sustenance to my local bird population. According to Bird Studies Canada (BSC), the country’s foremost authority on the subject, our bird population is anything but fine. Changes in bird population numbers often reflect changes in less visible forms of life in nature. — Courtesy of Bird Studies Canada
