Many of our favorite wild birds are in trouble. According to the North American Bird Conservation Initiative’s 2016 report, 37% of the 1,154 native wild bird species that live in Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico are in urgent need of help; another 49% are in danger, and only 14% of species are thriving. Wild birds that live in the ocean and in tropical forests are in the most trouble, followed by those that live in coastal areas, grasslands, and arid regions. Helping them involves a bit more than hanging out a bird feeder or going bird watching on the weekends.
