The pesticide that caused bee colonies to collapse is killing birds now
Neonicotinoids, thought to be responsible for colony collapse disorder, have detrimental effects on birds, too
“A single corn kernel coated with a neonicotinoid can kill a songbird. Even a tiny grain of wheat or canola treated with the oldest neonicotinoid, imidacloprid, can poison a bird.
As little as 1/10th of a corn seed per day during egg-laying season is all that is needed to affect reproduction with any of the neonicotinoids registered to date.”
