    • 20

    • 50

    Cats are thought to be primarily responsible for the extinction of 87 species of birds. This is due to their hunting instincts and ability to catch and kill birds. Cats, especially feral ones, have had a significant impact on bird populations in many parts of the world. They are skilled predators and can have devastating effects on bird populations, particularly in areas where birds are not adapted to dealing with such predators. The high number of 87 species indicates the significant threat that cats pose to bird biodiversity.
