BIRDS

Human activities are significantly impacting wildlife, particularly birds, by altering their natural behaviours.

Here's a list of 5 Ways Human Activity Is Affecting Birds’ Natural Behaviour:

Urbanization and agricultural expansion lead to the loss of natural habitats, forcing birds to adapt their nesting and foraging behaviours in fragmented landscapes.

Human-generated noise disrupts bird communication, leading to changes in vocalization patterns and making it harder for birds to detect predators and find mates.

Birds have adapted to human presence by scavenging for food in urban areas, which can create dependency on unnatural food sources and alter their natural foraging behaviours.

Climate change and habitat loss affect migratory routes, causing birds to change their migration patterns, timing, and destinations, which can impact their reproductive success.

Increased human activity raises stress levels in birds, resulting in heightened vigilance that reduces time spent foraging or caring for young, ultimately affecting their health and survival rates.
