The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/800519-environment-canada-bird-study.html\">study<\/a> estimates that, in Canada, nearly 269 million birds and 2 million nests are destroyed each year. Predation by cats and collisions with houses, vehicles and transmission lines together account for more than 95% of all human-related bird deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Lets break down the numbers for these top 4 causes of bird deaths in Canada:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cats (both feral and pet) are believed to be the largest human-related source of bird deaths &#8211; killing approximately 196 million birds in Canada every year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bird mortality associated with collisions with houses in Canada each year is estimated to be about 22.4 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bird mortality associated with vehicle collisions is estimated at 13.8 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Bird deaths associated with collisions with transmission lines across Canada is estimated at 25.6 million each year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out some of our resources below for tips on how we can help reduce the number of birds that die in Canada every year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/discover-wildlife\/flora-fauna\/fauna\/problem-wildlife\/keeping-cats-indoors-is-for.html\">Keeping cats indoors is for the birds&#8230;.and the cats<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/discover-wildlife\/resources\/online-articles\/the-cats-me-ow.html\">The Cats Me-OW<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/blog\/posts\/canadian-birds-and-house.html\">Canada&#8217;s Birds and House Windows<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">[CWF PHOTO CONTEST PICTURE SUBMITTED BY MRS.
