    High rises aren’t really a problem either. I’d wager that agricultural and pest control practices, automobile traffic, and urban sprawl each individually kill orders of magnitude more birds.

      By far the biggest killer of birds are cats that people let out of their homes. They kill for fun and they kill so, so many. People really need to stop letting their cats out.

          Depends on where you live, some countries sterilize wild cats which makes a huge dent in the wild cat population.

          Up to the point where organizations are importing cats from different countries.
