More than half of our UK songbirds are threatened or already in decline

SongBird Survival is working to change the future of songbirds by funding research into the causes of the decline, and creating solutions.

Birds are essential to our ecosystem, and our own survival. We are destroying the natural world at an unprecedented rate and songbirds cannot evolve quickly enough to adapt and survive.

PROTECT PETS, SAVE SONGBIRDS

Our scientific research found chemicals used in veterinary flea and tick treatments present in birds' nests. These pesticides have potentially harmful effects on songbirds.  

Our campaign will help raise awareness of the environmental risks associated with these treatments.

Do you remember the last time you heard a chaffinch sing? That trill - a familiar sound of spring - is now under threat. There are 49 songbird species considered 'at risk' in the UK, yet a recent YouGov survey found that 44% of people have no idea songbirds are in trouble.
That matters, because people can only act when they know there is a problem.

Will you donate to turn awareness into action, and research into real change for songbirds?
