Perhaps we can all agree: the most beautiful walks in the forest are accompanied by a soundtrack of flute-like trilling and melodic whistling.
Without the chirping from bushes and trees, something would simply be missing. But birds benefit us and the planet even more.
We have compiled 3 facts for you that you may not have known about our feathered friends.
- Birds eat up to 500 million tonnes of insects per year and can even provide a solution for the natural control of rodent populations.
- Birds are important pollinators. About 5% of the plants that humans use for food or medicine are pollinated by birds.
- Birds bring seeds and thus plants back to destroyed ecosystems. They can even carry plants across the sea to new land masses.
