Every year in Canada, an estimated 269 million birds and 2 million nests are destroyed due to human activities and infrastructure. Over 95% of bird deaths are caused by cat predation, and collisions with windows, vehicles, and transmission lines. Our mission is to educate our community about these issues and inspire action that helps save birds lives.
