So are all the birds dead in the UK

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Nope. And the RSPB doesn't believe cats are a concern:

The UK’s largest bird charity, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), is not particularly concerned about the impact of cats on the British mainland.

And a Bristol study found cats kill the "doomed" weak and sick birds - not healthy birds: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1474-919X.2008.00836.x

Yes, according to the RSPB habitat destruction from expanding urban areas and farmland is the main threat to bird life in the UK.

When my family had a cat it would mostly catch and bring home earthworms.

I get lots of leaves and slugs. Occasionally an alive frog, one loves catching them for me but never even attempts to eat it.
