This is misleading: Habitat destruction, e.g. Lack of thorny hedges and maize monoculture decimated wild animal population.

The source for the bird loss is: Loss et al. Love it when people have fitting names like that. A painter named Brush, an investment banker named Rich, a hairdresser named Mane, etc.
Is … is this Loss?
Poor bab-euh birds
A fraudulent banker named Bankman-fried … ok well not perfect, but…
What about deforestation and farming ?
Yep. Switching to linux solves those issues too.
Barely moves the needle. Birds are extremely adaptable and readily find habitats in rural, exurban, suburban, and even urban environments. Letting a housecat outside is one of the worst things that a single individual can do for the environment.
This may be true for the USA. In Germany the biggest killer is agriculture, followed by buildings, then cars and then come the cats. I’m guessing this is the reason for the controversy regarding this topic. Cats aren’t that big a problem in Germany. Especially if you have a programmable cat flap that leaves the cats inside during morning and evening times. During daytime they don’t catch shit.
So destroying over 90% of their natural Habitat is not worse than a single predator? Nevermind most other predators that have been driven to extinction anyway
Classic Big Dog propaganda.
Vehicles
Save birds - stay indoors with the cats.
Bring your cars inside.
Don’t believe this, OP is a cat trying to get rid of a competitor.
CATS/Windows
CATS, as in “you have no chance to survive make your time” ?
Main screen turn on

You know, I’ve never seen a cat kill a bird.
I have. Random outdoor cat walked over to me, demanded pets, it noticed a bird, killed the bird, and came back to me looking for more attention. I was not impressed.
Neither did the bird.
I have feed around 10 stray cats for the last 15 years. Only one of them was a hunter, and by that, I mean it’s like watching captain Levi dealing with giants. I once saw her take down two pigeons at the same time.
I grew up in the country with outdoor cats. Birds, frogs, bats, mice… sometimes alive sometimes in jigsaw mode
Dang, we had barn cats as a kid, and then dad let one inside, and then more, but they would demand to go outside regularly so my parents let them, but the prettiest one, a calico, was always so proud of her catches, she’d leave them on the welcome mat like a present. Sometimes the whole bird, somtimes just like the feet left, she must have been hungry those days.
That’s why I say people should not own cats! Or big dogs (they are just dangerous). Buy some small breed dog or adopt one and be happy.
Most house cars does not prey on birds it’s mostly street cats that prey on birds
I like my cat.
Indoor cats is fine
My mom also has two cats. They killed two birds I saw personally. And they try everytime they see a bird getting near.
But at least she owns them for a reason. She has a field near the house from where a lot if mice often come to the house, especially in autumn. They deal pretty well with it.
I have a cat, he killed 0 birds.
