Cats can be a hazard for birds.

Cats are killing millions of birds.

Also things like window glass.

Sometimes they fly into windows in buildings, especially if the lights are on.

And there's been a concerted effort to get tall skyscrapers to turn the lights off.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Well, birds are things with feathers.

Some of them can fly, but they don't all fly.

They're descended from dinosaurs, and they're among the most beautiful, colorful creatures on Earth.

In the whole world, there's something like 11,000 species of birds.

I think so.

I mean, I guess I don't really know for a fact, but I assume they do.

Some birds prey on other birds.

For instance, raptors like hawks eat other birds.

So clearly the birds that are prey are aware of the raptors.

And one of the things you sometimes see is you'll see a hawk flying and you'll see crows mobbing it.

They're sort of flying next to it and they're kind of diving into it.

Sometimes they even touch it.

and they're really telling the hawk to get lost.

They don't want it around because they're worried that the hawk might kill them, might eat their eggs.
