James Brady+FollowBirds Are Disappearing—Here’s Why It’s ScaryTurns out, it’s not just deforestation hurting our feathered friends. Scientists just found that extreme heat from climate change is causing tropical bird populations to plummet—down 25-38% since 1950! Birds do way more than just look cute; they help control pests and pollinate plants. If they keep vanishing, our ecosystems (and food supply) could get seriously messed up. The takeaway? Cutting greenhouse gases is more urgent than ever if we want to keep birds—and ourselves—thriving. #Science #ClimateChange #Birds31Share
Brianna Patel+FollowMy camera bird feeder got knocked over last night. 6 suspects. Surveillance footage has narrowed it down to six suspects...I was so ready to blame the poor squirrel. I owe it an apology. #PlotTwist #Squirrel #TrueCrimeVibes #CaughtOnCamera #Birds 1401Share
Tamara Jones+Follow6 Dinosaurs That Are Basically OG BirdsMind blown: Birds are literally living dinosaurs! 🦖➡️🦜 Here are 6 prehistoric creatures that prove it: 1) Archaeopteryx – the classic dino-bird hybrid; 2) Microraptor – rocked four wings; 3) Velociraptor – feathered and fierce; 4) Sinosauropteryx – the first fuzzy dino; 5) Confuciusornis – early bird with a beak; 6) Anchiornis – had wild, colorful feathers. Feathers, hollow bones, and even nesting habits all started with these ancient beasts. Next time you see a pigeon, remember: you’re looking at a tiny dino! #Science #Dinosaurs #Birds10Share
Michelle York+FollowCity Lights Are Making Birds Party All NightTurns out, birds in cities are pulling all-nighters thanks to our streetlights! A new global study found that in the brightest spots, birds are singing almost an hour longer each day. The wild part? Birds with bigger eyes are even more sensitive to all this extra light. Scientists used smart tech and citizen science to track over 180 million bird songs, and it’s changing what we know about how city life messes with nature. Who knew our nightlife was contagious? #Science #LightPollution #Birds20Share
megangibson+FollowHumans Teach Endangered Birds to Fly AgainDid you know scientists are literally playing 'bird mom' to bring back the northern bald ibis in Europe? These quirky, bald-headed birds forgot how to migrate after vanishing for centuries. Now, conservationists are raising chicks and guiding them on migration routes with microlight aircraft—think real-life 'Fly Away Home' vibes! The project’s working: more birds are finding their way back each year, but climate change is throwing in some wild curveballs. Would you sign up to be a bird’s flight instructor? #Science #Conservation #Birds330Share
Jacob Morgan+FollowHow Fayetteville is saving birds and catsEvery year, thousands of songbirds in Northwest Arkansas get a second chance, thanks to a creative effort by Wild Birds Unlimited. By rehoming just 60 friendly stray cats through the Northwest Arkansas Community Cat Project, Ambre Brewster and her team have saved an estimated 3,000 birds annually! The cats are spayed, vaccinated, and adopted out as indoor pets—where they can safely birdwatch from the window. This approach not only protects local wildlife but also gives these cats loving homes. It’s a win-win for animal lovers and nature fans alike. Would you consider adopting a cat to help local birds? #Pets #Fayetteville #Birds10Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowBirds Are Disappearing—Even in Safe Spots!Did you know North America has lost nearly 3 billion birds since 1970? Even places that used to be bird hotspots are seeing huge declines. Scientists think climate change and habitat loss are big reasons, but they’re still figuring it out. Birds aren’t just pretty—they pollinate, control pests, and even inspired the bullet train! Want to help? Plant native flowers, use fewer pesticides, and keep your cats indoors. Every little bit counts! #Science #Birds #ClimateChange70Share
Daniel Barajas+FollowBirds vs. Power Lines: A Shocking FixDid you know millions of birds die every year from hitting or perching on power lines? Scientists in Australia just used GPS trackers on endangered wedge-tailed eagles to figure out which power lines are the deadliest. Their model can now predict danger zones before birds even get hurt! This could totally change how we protect wildlife as power grids keep growing. Imagine saving birds before tragedy strikes—pretty wild, right? #WildlifeProtection #Birds #ScienceNews90Share
Shane Becker+FollowWhat gift should I give to the kitten? Of course, it's a bird gift ❗ ️No kitten can escape the magic of a bird Instantly start hunting mode, so crazy that you can't stop The bird can still squeak, providing complete emotional feedback to the kitten 🐦 No kitten wouldn't love this toy, would they? 🐧 🎶 Tap lightly to make 3 bird calls, stimulate hunting instincts This toy has a knot on the head and can be DIY transformed into a "flying" little bird with a cat teaser stick. My baby has completely fallen in love with it, hehe hehe #Pets #Cats #KiitenToy #Birds 370Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowBirds Can't Outfly Climate Change?!Just read that even the fastest birds in North America can’t escape climate change—literally. Scientists tracked 406 species and found that even when birds move north or climb higher, they’re still stuck with rising temps. Some couldn’t even move at all! If birds—nature’s OG jet-setters—can’t keep up, what does that mean for less mobile animals? It’s a big red flag for the whole ecosystem. Makes you think about how much climate change is messing with everything, right? #ClimateChange #Birds #WildlifeCrisis #Science10Share
