Along with nature’s other creations, birds are among the most stunning and amazing animals in the world. Birds come in a variety of impressive and alluring hues, which demonstrates how exquisitely nature made the colorful creation birds in order to make the world vibrant and alluring.
There are too many wonderful birds in the world for us to know them all. However, they are some of the most amazing birds we have ever seen. We adore their eye-catching feathers and brilliant colors. The sound of birds chirping in the early morning hours is one of nature’s most lovely features, which will slowly get vanished with time.
It’s really upsetting to learn that birds, one of mother earth’s most exquisite creations, are extinct with time due to human neglect, digitization, and climate change. Because all of the magnificent bird species will spread out in the near future, the next generation will never be able to discover them.
WHY ARE BIRDS GETTING EXTINCT WITH TIME?
We all understand why birds are vanishing over time. The decline and destruction of the birds’ native habitats were suggested as causes. The primary risks to bird biodiversity are also included as pesticides and habitat destruction.
One new factor contributing to the reduction of bird populations is climate change, bird trafficking, egg harvesting, habitat damage due to habitation-related development, deforestation, livestock and single-crop agriculture, and invasive species, pollution from fertilizers that harm local flora and biodiversity, and pesticides.
During summer season birds get unwell when the temperature rises and dehydration from heat stroke is the main cause. The juvenile bird was discovered lying motionless on the ground since it was unable to fly. The extreme heat made the problem worse and made its precarious condition even worse.
The birds are killed by air pollution and other factors that prevent them from flying. Long-term pollution exposure in birds resulted in decreased egg production and hatching, lung failure, inflammation, and smaller bodies. Pollution has an impact on bird habitats as well. Plants that birds rely on for food, a place to nest, and shelter are harmed by ozone. Ozone pollution damages birds’ respiratory systems directly and adversely affects their food sources.
The sequel to Robot, the Bollywood film 2.0 starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar, raises the concern of how birds can’t survive in the modern environment due to the radiation from phone towers. The film has heightened awareness of the need to protect birds from electromagnetic radiation, or EMR, which is an unseen form of pollution that permeates our environment and may be harmful to the health of birds.
Numerous birds perish in Northern Mexico
A surveillance camera in Mexico’s Cuauhtémoc city captured hundreds of migrating birds dropping to the earth. A sizable flock of yellow-headed blackbirds can be seen falling from the sky in the now-viral footage, some of them flying upward after sinking low and many of them landing dead.
On February 7, 2022, numerous locals saw many yellow-headed blackbirds lying dead on the streets and sidewalks of Cuauhtémoc, according to the Mexican daily El Heraldo de Chihuahua.
Many theories have been put up in response to the odd deaths of migrating birds that typically fly from Canada to Mexico at this time of year. According to a veterinarian quoted by El Heraldo de Chihuahua, the fatalities may have been brought either by abrupt electrocution or the city’s high pollution levels.

SUMMER STROKE: MANY BIRDS ARE GETTING SUMMER STROKE DUE TO HEAVY HEATWAVE, AS SEEN IN ONE CASE IN GUJARAT
As a sweltering summer dries out water sources in the state’s largest city, rescuers in India’s western Gujarat state are picking up scores of weary and thirsty birds that are falling from the sky. In recent years, vast areas of South Asia have been drying up during the warmest months before summer, forcing Indian government to issue a fire danger warning.
FEW BIRD SPECIES THAT ARE GOING TO EXTINCT SOON
SNOWY OWL – Its population is rapidly declining, primarily as a result of climate change. The availability and distribution of its prey have been impacted by the melting of ice caps and decreased snow cover.
VULTURE – Nearly every one of the 16 species of “Old World” vultures is under peril in some way, with eight species being listed as Critically Endangered and on the verge of extinction, three as Endangered, and three others as Near Threatened.
GREAT INDIAN BUSTARD – The Great Indian Bustard has been listed as Critically Endangered on the Red List of Threatened Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN).
FRUIT DOVE – The fruit dove is an endangered bird species native to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands that is quickly approaching extinction. The population has experienced various dangers recently, which has resulted in a sharp drop in their numbers. Invasive animals (such tree snakes that have displaced native species in their area) and habitat loss are two of these major risks.
GROUPS THAT ARE PROTECTING BIRDS
A global coalition of voluntary groups, such as Birdlife International, works to conserve birds and their habitats. The National Audubon Society protects birds and the places they need and trying to help the birds that are going to get extinct.
STEP TAKEN BY INDIAN GOVT
In India, the preservation and protection of birds are prioritized over that of tigers and elephants. The Indian government has now put up a 10-year plan in an effort to aid in the protection of birds and their habitats in India.
The plan suggests a number of short, medium, and long-term approaches to safeguard rare and endangered bird species. Initiate species recovery programs for those that are severely endangered. Implement a landscape strategy to regulate their dwindling numbers. Safeguard birds in urban areas, and prevent their habitats from becoming wasteland-like, and protect bird-friendly wetlands and coastal regions.
But in the end, it is also our duty to make an effort to safeguard the birds by constructing small habitats, preserving existing habitats, making donations, volunteering at conservation parks, and taking pleasure in nature.
