Description

You've probably seen it on the news, but hear what John and Shannon have to say about the recent migration collision in Chicago. Last week Chicago had one of the largest migration nights ever, totaling what could have been 1 million birds in a single night. Unfortunately, this resulted in almost 1,000 birds colliding with buildings and dying. Hear about what caused this, what we can do to stop it from happening, and where building collisions ranks among other mass-casualties of birds (do you think its more or less than deaths from cats?) Email us your questions at podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.comFollow us in Instagram for pictures of the birds, specimen, and more info! @birds_of_a_feather_podcastEnjoy!!!!
