Digital art of a woodpecker Rito (anthro bird) reclining on a flying bike made of ancient Zonai technology, powered by a flaming statue head at the back which he is leaning against. He looks content and very pleased with himself, his wing-arms folded behind his head and one foot lifted onto the handlebars, steering the vehicle. A distant landscape is visible in the background.

Climate Change Driving Mass Bird Deaths in the Amazon

A recent #study has revealed that even in the most isolated parts of the #Amazon, bird #populations are collapsing due to #climatechange. Research published in Science Advances found that a 1°C increase in temperature led to a 63% drop in bird survivability, proving that climate change is pushing avian species towards #extinction. Avoiding deforestation-linked products like #palmoil and #meat is crucial in the fight for their survival. As is calling out corporate greenwashing, be #Vegan and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

#News: #Study reveals tropical #birds 🦜🪶are dying at alarming rates in the #Amazon 🇧🇷🇪🇨🇨🇴 due to human-induced #ClimateChange, heat stress 🥵 and habitat shifts. Demand corporate accountability #ClimateActionNow, be #vegan and 🌴🪔⛔️ #BoycottPalmOil https://wp.me/pcFhgU-a5w

Rare Bird Populations Suffer from Heat Stress Leading to Gradual Decline

A team of environmental scientists from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Michigan Technological University, and the University of Oregon examined decades of bird population data from Brazil’s Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project. They found that bird numbers have steadily declined, with some species even disappearing entirely.

For years, researchers were unsure why birds were vanishing from pristine environments untouched by human development. This study provides clear evidence that climate change is making forests uninhabitable, even for species that have survived in stable, humid ecosystems for millennia.

Heat stress and climate instability

The study found that rising temperatures are disrupting forest ecosystems, creating longer dry seasons, shifting plant and animal populations, and removing essential food sources.

Bird species rely on stable seasonal cycles to build nests, lay eggs, and forage for food for their young. However, as global temperatures rise, their food sources peak too early or disappear entirely. Many chicks are now hatching into a world where food no longer exists, leading to mass starvation and long-term population collapse.

Climate change aggravates bird mortality in pristine tropical forests, Science Advances, Jared D. Wolfe et al. (2025). DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adq8086

Global implications

While this study focused on the Amazon, its findings have global implications. Bird populations in rainforests worldwide are experiencing similar declines due to climate instability, habitat destruction, and resource depletion.

3. Supermarket sleuthing: Next time you’re in the supermarket, take photos of products containing palm oil. Share these to social media along with the hashtags to call out the greenwashing and ecocide of the brands who use palm oil. You can also take photos of palm oil free products and congratulate brands when they go palm oil free.

Apparently, in the age of #data #privacy concerns, the real pressing issue is setting up a #Raspberry #Pi to bug the local #avian #gossip group 🐦🔍. Because what the world truly needs is more people with PhDs in bird #eavesdropping, helping us decode the scandalous chirping of sparrows and robins 🍃🎤.

I also like them too!! ♡♡♡♡ I love how I drew da branch.
Fun fact: Indigo buntings are striking blue song birds known for their vibrant color, long-distance migrations, and unique navigation skills. They are not actually blue due to pigment, but rather the microscopic structure of their feathers refracts blue light.
