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.

How you can help birds

What you can do to help songbirds where you are

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.

CHRISTMAS APPEAL

UK songbirds are in real danger. 84 songbird species breed in the UK and over 50% are now considered at risk. We urgently need a better understanding of why UK songbirds are disappearing before it is too late.

That's why SongBird Survival took part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge from the 2nd to 9th December 2025.

Thanks to your incredible support, we reached our £40,000 target. Although matched funding has now ended, donations are still vital for songbirds. Please continue to donate to our Christmas appeal:

Saving Songbirds With Science

SongBird Survival believes that the evidence base that informs UK policy is inadequate or lacking, and more needs to be done to identify the real drivers behind continued songbird declines.

We commission and fund high-quality scientific research to fill in these evidence gaps.
