These and other bird species are at the top of the food chain and are greatly affected by the use of pesticides in and around farms. Accumulated low doses of pesticides In shrimps, snails and insects can cause infertility, low birth rate and deformities over time when consumed by birds, reptiles and mammals. This is one of the unintended consequences of pesticide use around the world. Not to mention the long term effects on humans and the environment we live in. Over use of pesticides also contribute to mutation and resistant strains of pests, and Ultimately more pesticide use.
The long term solution begins with education, innovation and willingness on the part of individuals to make a difference. Otherwise there will be less of these beautiful birds to admire.
