According to the Nabu association, fewer and fewer garden birds are being spotted in Germany. The German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (Nabu) in Saxony points to a continuing negative trend in view of the interim results of the current bird census.
"It is well known that the bird world as a whole is not doing well due to the environmental changes and destruction of nature caused by humans. Birds are bioindicators, so the poor state of birdlife allows conclusions to be drawn about the poor state of ecosystems. Food sources and nesting opportunities are increasingly being lost, exacerbated by climate change and insect mortality."
