Birds play an essential role in the functioning of the world's 'ecosystem.'

Birds control Pests

A recent study has shown that birds eat 400-500 million tons of insects a year.

Birds Pollinate Plants

Their roles as pollinators benefits us directly as around 5% of the plants we use for food or medicine.

Birds keep coral reefs alive. 

Seabirds especially play a key role in cycling nutrients and helping to fertilise 'marine' ecosystems such as coral reefs. Seabirds travel hundreds of kilometres to feed out in the ocean --- and when they return, they deposit layers of highly pungent guano (droppings) at their colonies. This guano leeches into the ocean and fertilise nearby communities such as coral reefs.

Birds Inspire Science

From the technology of flight, to the invention of zippers modelled on the barbules of feathers, we have drawn inspiration from birds for centuries.
