Bycatch of marine birds in fisheries occurs regularly when birds such as albatrosses and petrels inadvertently get tangled in gill and trawl nets, causing them to lose their lives.Birds starve for food due to the shortage of food resources, or other bird species compete for the same food resources in the ecosystems.The introduction of non-native species (examples: rats, snakes) to the environment also disturbs the birds’ population since these animals make the birds nesting on the trees and ground very unsafe to hatch or raise the off-springs. One main reason birds go extinct is hunting and poaching.The first reason is Habitat loss due to human-made urban development activities (i.e., deforestation, industrialization, etc.), natural catastrophes, cell phone towers with amplified frequencies more than recommended levels, and climate change.Reasons Why Birds Are Becoming Extinct?īirds are becoming endangered or even extinct for an array of reasons:.Kangaroo Island Emu (†Dromaius baudinianus) Saint Helena Dove (†Dysmoropelia dekarchiskos) Marianne White Eye (†Zosterops semiflavus) Mauritius Blue Pigeon (†Alectroenas nitidissimus)
