Like many of you, birds are very special to me. I connect with them like I don’t any other living creature, save my wife and kids. I photograph them. I’ve covered my body in nothing but bird tattoos.

To see that a THIRD of them have disappeared is like a knife to the heart.

Domestic cats are one of the biggest killers of small birds and wildlife. If you own a cat, keep it indoors and never let it outside without direct supervision. If you own a cat, make sure it is fixed so to better control the domestic cat population. We have way too many cats that do not have a proper home because people let them breed out of control.
