Are you in the US, Doris? People in the US say I'm crazy when I say there are no more birds (no more insects, insecticides, herbicides, etc.). In France, as an avid naturalist, I have clearly noticed the decline in insects (not only bees) since I moved to the farm some 40 years ago. Followed by a decline in insectivores such as certain birds, bats, lizards, etc. I'm sure rodents are affected too, but I haven't been able to observe them.
I've always been charmed by birds' chirping to welcome the day (my erroneous interpretation) & miss them terribly.
Yes. The bugs and birds are going away. And we will too. But today I am enjoying watching a male Robin building his sweetheart a nest next to my bedroom window on the outdoor spotlight under the eaves. So much love and care going into every move. So much hope for his future family. Chokes me up. It’s so beautiful. I have to try protect them from a damn cat that prowls here at night. Hang some chimes from the bush next to the nest.

I wish owners hung bells on their cats.
