Protect Insects, Protect Birds

Every year, billions of birds make seasonal movements called migrations. Along the way, they utilize stop-over habitats to refuel, and for many of these birds, insects are on the menu.

Sustainable hunting under the Birds Directive

The Birds Directive recognises the legitimacy of hunting wild birds as a form of sustainable use. It therefore allows the hunting of 84 huntable species listed in Annex II, provided this is done in a sustainable manner that does not jeopardise their survival.

Environment
Please don't use insecticides. Birds need the insects for energy to run from the outdoor cats. 🐛🐦
