Fig - A flock of Robins
We have increased our bird feeding. But fewer birds come. Moreover, our own observations show that when we moved 20 years ago, our bird count was about 25 different species at our backyard. Now, 2025, the number was down to about 10 species only.
Decreasing of bird population might relate to:
- Less flyover territory because of urbanization.
- Loss of trees and wild areas where birds can feed and nest.
- Some problems still with pesticides.
- Loss of insect diversity is a huge problem for birds and many other animals
Did you see decreasing number of bird population in your areas?

The facts you listed are accurate for the birds but. It is sad to know that they are having to find new habitat areas. In our area, we pretty much have the same situation. Have a good week Tanza...
ReplyDeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a decrease in the birds here as well as the butterflies. We have a few bird feeders out in the winter as well and hope the robins will be visiting soon!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute these robins this remembers to me The Secret Garden Film

Shame that the numbers of birds is declining - but it a common story.

The American robins are adorable - we saw one when we visited Central Park last year. That's when I learned that they are not related to "our" European robins...
ReplyDeleteWe are also seeing a decline in bird populations here, although a lot is being done to create habitats for insects. I hope these measures have not come too late. There is also a die-off of some tree species here (due to climate change, some pests are multiplying and the trees are also getting less water and becoming too weak to defend themselves against the pests). The trees are being cleared on a large scale to prevent other tree species from infecting them. This also reduces the breeding opportunities for the birds.
All the best from Austria, Traude

OMG this is so depressing. I have not noticed as I do not live in my own house with a back yard but this does not sound good at all. There are too many people on the planet.

I live in Italy and I live in and area where they have cut down all the trees and planted vineyards ( the famous Prosecco wine) and most of bees died, most of dragonflies, fireflies and most of birds were poisoned too with pesticides. You should know that when you buy Prosecco. It's a wine full of sulphites and pesticides. They have cut down many Woods to plant vineyards and this Is very bad for out Life and for birds and insects.☹️

DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe number and species of birds is on the decline, very sad to see.
I love the Robins at your birdbath. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
We seem to have a lot of birds in this part of Florida so I've not seen a decline. Love the Robins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the robins! Habitat loss is a big issue.
