It’s now been confirmed that the Snowy Owls died of avian flu. A ban on rodenticides is still needed!
Two snowy owls were found dead in Toronto, with rodenticide the suspected cause

Education & change on the harmful impacts of rodenticide is a priority for all bird-friendly cities!

A great segment from PBS yesterday about window collisions and urban bird life!
The segment starts at the 16m13s mark in the video, and talks about the dangers windows pose to birds, and effective methods to protect their lives
