There is some very sad and terrible news about House Sparrows.
The sad news is that it has been reported that the House Sparrow population has declined by a massive 247 MILLION since 1980.
The findings of House Sparrows were discovered by BirdLife International, the RSPB and the Czech Society for Ornithology.
They also found there were dramatic declines in other bird species.
Other bird species that have had sharp declines in their populations are - Skylarks, Starlings and Yellow Wagtails. There is now 97 million fewer Yellow Wagtails, 75 million fewer Starlings and 68 million fewer Skylarks.
The change in these bird populations in Europe, have significantly impacted many bird species: House Sparrows have been impacted the most.
The impact on House Sparrows has been devastating.
The impact on House Sparrows have been so devastating over the last few decades, that the House Sparrow population has declined by half - this is an alarming and very dramatic decline in the House Sparrow population in Europe.
House Sparrows have been the species most affected.
Why The Decline?
The decline in House Sparrows and other bird species shows how much we are having a detrimental impact on the natural world around us.
Birds have dramatically declined in Europe due to the damage humans are causing to ecosystems, changes in farming and management, and, potentially because of food shortages. These are the main reasons for the decline in bird populations.
It shows how much destruction is being cause to the natural world and how fast wildlife is declining. We have to stop the destruction of nature and the environment if we are going to save animals like the House Sparrows and other birds.
