We need to worry about birds

It is our duty to do something to help the birds survive in such tough conditions as they are pretty important in maintaining a balance in the ecosystem. Birds are a great source of fertilizers; they help in pollination and also play an important part in controlling the numbers of pests and insects. Birds are very helpful for the farmers as well.

How can we help them?

We can help the birds by putting up elevated bird feeders, birdhouses and by also providing them with drinking water. Planting trees and plants will also help them and make sure that if you have a cat, it should not be allowed to go outside in daytime. Stop using harmful pesticides in your garden because then the birds can get poisoned by eating seeds, insects, fruits, etc.

Birds help the farmers by saving their crops from the insects by eating the insects and this also reduced the use of pesticides which are also not for good for humans.

They also help in cleaning the nature

Birds clean nature by eating up the corpses of dead animals or the decay matter. Birds also feed on the grains or fruits which are thrown in open and by doing this; they are cleaning the nature and saving humans from many diseases which could spread if birds do not act as scavengers.

Improve the fertility of land

Birds increase the fertility of land as their excreta is a rich source of uric acid which gets converted to ammonia and is good manure for plants. This is one more way by which birds help the farmers in increasing the production of their fields.
