14 TYPES OF BEAUTIFUL BIRDS

IMPORTANCE OF BIRDS FOR HUMAN
Birds are important members of many ecosystems. They play a vital role in controlling pests, acting as pollinators, and maintaining island ecology. In addition, birds are important to humans in many ways, such as serving as a source of food and providing fertilizer in agricultural settings
Birds are generous in so many ways. Among their gifts of song, beauty, humor, and inspiration are the profound benefits they bestow on the environment. When it comes to how birds benefit and protect the environment, birds:
Scavenge and remove disease-prone carrion;
Eat bugs… lots and lots of bugs;
Cache seeds that grow into new trees and plants;
Help maintain nature’s balance.
Without birds the Earth would be a very different and likely uninhabitable place for humans. Scavenger birds like vultures, crows, and ravens provide critical sanitation services by eating animals that have died either by natural causes or because they were hit by a vehicle. Without these birds’ efficiency, harmful bacteria, flies carrying illnesses, and diseases like rabies and tuberculosis would inevitably spread.
This was the case in the 1990s when Asia’s population of vultures collapsed.
Fed by the carrion that vultures would’ve eaten, India’s feral dog population grew to 5.5 million. This dramatic increase in number led to more rabid dog bites and caused an estimated 47,300 human deaths. But scavengers aren’t the only birds that protect us from illness. Owls, for example, will hunt rats and other rodents that can also carry disease.

They eat adult Japanese beetles and their grubs.
For spruce and fir trees in Alaska, the evening grosbeak becomes a caped crusader during outbreaks of spruce budworm. The evening grosbeak eats the larvae that would otherwise consume the trees’ seeds and needles.
Birds play an extensive role in controlling insect populations, and what’s better… they do it without the expense and toxic effects of pesticides.

Butterflies and bees do much of the heavy lifting when it comes to pollinating flowers. But the contribution of birds is nothing to sneeze at. While research about the role birds play in pollination is minimal,. Suddenly, birds become a big deal.birds help preserve habitats: Seabirds deposit layers of droppings that leach into and fertilize nearby coral reefs. One study conducted at the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean reported that where seabirds were free from predators, the coral reefs thrived, and fish grew larger and faster. If we take a moment to consider birds and all they do to benefit and protect the environment, it’s easy to understand the imperative to ensure their survival. Their well-being is our well-being, and halting deforestation and the use of toxic pesticides are two of the most important steps we can take toward saving bird populations.
