for urban and migratory birds, the biggest human-caused hazards are habitat loss, cat predation, and building strikes. Cats should be kept indoors: that’s a hill I’ll die on (and the shelters I’ve adopted from required a pledge to that effect.) People can petition cities to fix building codes—but we can also amend our own dwellings to keep birds safe.
