The primary cause of bird extinction is habitat loss. Humans are encroaching on natural habitats, such as forests and wetlands, to make way for development, agriculture, and other activities. This is leaving many bird species without a place to live and reproduce.
2. Climate Change
Climate change is also having a major impact on birds. Rising temperatures and changing weather patterns are causing some species to lose their habitats, while others are finding it more difficult to find food and reproduce.
3. Pollution
Pollution from sources such as factories, vehicles, and agricultural runoff can poison birds or damage their food supplies. Oil spills and other environmental disasters can also kill large numbers of birds.
4. Hunting and Poaching
Hunting and poaching are major threats to birds in many parts of the world. Some birds are hunted for food or for their feathers or other body parts, while others are caught and kept as pets.
5. Introduced Species
Non-native species that are introduced to new areas can also threaten birds. These species may compete with native birds for food and habitat, or they may prey on them.
