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.

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.

PROTECT PETS, SAVE SONGBIRDS

Our scientific research found chemicals used in veterinary flea and tick treatments present in birds' nests. These pesticides have potentially harmful effects on songbirds.  

Our campaign will help raise awareness of the environmental risks associated with these treatments.

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.
