    Stop cutting down trees. Cities need birds to eat gross bugs that transmit disease. http://bit.ly/2hLrZ5N pic.twitter.com/wL7nSAcLln

        An oak tree can provide food, shelter, and support for over 250 different species of plants, birds, insects, and mammals. (Not all bugs are gross or transmit disease.)

        Trees create shade that helps keep the ground cooler.

        Blue jays and Brewer's blackbirds eat yellow jackets and destroy wasp nests.

        Trees drop leaves that turn into awesome humus that improves the health of soils by adding organic matter and reducing compaction.

        Rows of trees are used as windbreaks to protect fragile crops from storms.

        Tree canopies block hard-driving rain from striking the ground full force, protecting against erosion and mud slides.

        A mature tree in your yard can have the same cooling value as three or four room air conditioners going 24/7.

        Trees take water from the ground up to their leaves where it is released as vapor that helps humidify and cool the air. It's called transpiration.

        True, and other creatures, too (raccoons for big starts, and they're everywhere!) But many birds are a crucial part of nature's precarious balance, so important not to stack the odds totally against them.
