I've seen that number before (1 billion birds killed a year) and I'm interested in how accurate it is. There are appropriately 92 million cats in the US - so that is like 10 birds per cat - I've had a lot of outdoor access cats and most have never brought birds in, or like once or twice a year. Do cats bring in only a tiny subset of things they catch, or are some cats killing far far more? --- On protecting birds, also be sure to keep dogs on a lead when birds are nesting, they can destroy nests in hedges and in the ground, or cause birds to abandon them. https://ww2.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/bird-and-wildlife-guides/ask-an-expert/previous/dog_disturbs_bird.aspx https://ww2.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/bird-and-wildlife...
