Despite their small size, the birds that we occasionally watch in our balcony, terrace, garden or backyard always make their presence felt. Whether they are flocking around, preening themselves or chirping around from one branch to another, they will make our outdoor sitting worth a stay. It would be our own little Nature's paradise to rejuvenate all senses at once.

But what if we say that in a foreseeable future, this little paradise of ours is in a real peril? Well, the climate change is now becoming mankind's worst nightmare to worst reality. The climate change is taking a heavy toll through increased frequency of droughts and heatwaves. The situation is now placing a big question mark upon the rate of survival of different species across the globe and our tiny feathered friends are also not an exception to it.

The situation skyrockets to the worst case scenario during the months of summer resulting in severe dehydration in birds, resulting them failing to regulate their body temperature. Birds do sweat. They flutter their neck muscles as a means to release heat. Birds tend to hold their wings away from their bodies and raise them up a bit or rather spread them out. It helps the air to reach the skin underneath their feathers and take care of the excessive amount of heat.

The Stats are Truly Worrying

According to a study conducted in North America, within the continent alone the breeding adult birds had declined by 30% since 1970. It has been estimated to be a loss of nearly 3 billion birds. The situation is more alarming because of the fact that this percentage is only increasing at a staggering pace of 10% annually.

From Desperate Search to Hapless End

According to studies, most of the birds that die of heatstroke are the ones that could had been saved if proper source of fresh water had been accessible to them on time. It is not like birds do not know they are in urgent need of water to quench their thirst and regulate their body temperature. But most of the times when most of the natural sources of water dry up due to excessive heat, the birds desperately fly to a great length in search of water.

When they are unable to find one, their search for the water source reaches a hapless end when their flight in the upper atmosphere bring them in direct contact with the heat waves. Now before the birds (especially the smaller ones in size) could detect the sudden and drastic change in their body temperature, the motor movement of their wing muscles weaken and fall from the sky to their death out of exhaustion.
