SOS birds in distress
In the space of 15 years, 30% of the bird population in France has disappeared. Larks, goldfinches, finches, blackbirds, kingfishers, turtle doves... It's time to react and understand the causes of this decline if we don't want a silent spring.
Abundantly illustrated, this book begins with an overview of the main bird species that can be observed: favorable season, habitat, diet, characteristic behaviors...
The author then reviews the causes of the collapse of bird populations: destruction of their natural habitats (fallow land, wetlands, hedges, etc.), pesticide use, air pollution, hunting, etc.
Finally, you'll find all the advice you need to help birds find food and shelter - whether you live in the city or the country - as well as the right gestures to avoid disturbing them and encourage their reproduction.
The solutions exist, let's save the birds!
