Plot twist: They are there because of us! There are many reasons why biodiversity is rapidly declining. That doesn’t mean that cats are not wreaking havoc on the local bird population:
I like how in their remediation suggestions they “gloss” over windows as an unavoidable bird genocide fact of life. Abolish windows! !fuckwindows@lemmy.world
Why are US numbers way off the chart for cats and windows? Is the US overrun with cats and murderous windows? How do you make sure the windows stay friendly towards humans? Do you export bad windows to Russia?
Adjusting for population the numbers should only be 10 times higher, 1.96 billion for cats and 250 million for windows. Cats are close to equal but I’m still concerned about your windows.
US has more regions with warm climates that birds live in year round. A lot of bird species only live in Canada half the year and then migrate south for winter.

There are so many questions…
Because of population. It’s basically this but comparing USA and Canada and showing it as a bar chart.

We really need to emphasize data analysis more in school, that’s obvious surface-level stuff they just didn’t consider.
Don’t fucking worry about the windows. K?
