Pollution Effects on Birds
Pollution is all around us. It is in the air that we breathe, the water we drink and the food that we eat. But humans are not the only ones combating the problems of poor air quality and chemically laced food and water. The animals of our planet are in crisis, as well, especially the birds.
Noise Pollution
The biggest problem that birds face when there is too much noise is their ability to communicate.
Some people just want some peace and quiet, and apparently, so do the birds. The University of Colorado at Boulder has conducted a three-year study that proves that noise pollution affects birds and their habits. The biggest problem that birds face when there is too much noise is their ability to communicate. Birds that vocalize at lower frequencies are easily drowned out by noise pollution, affecting their ability to attract a mate and socialize with the other birds in their community. But finches and other birds that vocalize at a higher frequency appear uninfluenced by the hustle and bustle of noise pollution--apparently ignoring the mass exodus of their fellow, winged friends.
Oil Pollution
Birds that are considered
Birds that are considered "water birds" are greatly affected by what is known as oil pollution. According to National Geographic, approximately 500,000 water birds are killed every year due to oil spills. When birds unexpectedly happen on an oil spill in their home water area, the oil coats their feathers and causes them to stick together. Feathers ordinarily provide a waterproof protection for birds, but when the feathers are covered in oil they lose this quality. This causes some of their skin to become exposed and at risk to the elements. Birds who attempt to clean their feathers will often ingest the oil and become ill or even die from poisoning.
