There is a huge loss of habitat. Developers buy up land clear cut it, and build condos x where are the birds going to live? Perfect lawns, poisoned so they are insect-free, and ornamental shrubs are a terrible environment for birds.
We happen to live in a wild bird paradise. Our deck overlooks a wooded are with a creek running through it. We feed 40 pounds of black oil sunflower seed a week. We see ducks, herons, and kingfishers at the creek, and a dozen or so species at the feeders the smallest are the hummingbirds and the largest are the Pileated woodpeckers.
