There are studies indicating that 1. The Urbanisation of previous bird habitat has a much bigger impact on certain populations and 2. Most of the birds killed are common and adapted to urban life.
Which leads to the conclusion that cats are not the one and only big problem for sining bird population, which is mostly spoken of in this context.
Regardless of if they’re a major factor or not, or what species they’re targeting, it’s still a shitty thing to do to allow your pet to fuck with the local wildlife.
If you wouldn’t go out killing birds, don’t let your cat do it either.

So… if they would go out and kill birds, their pet can?
Lolol! (/s, in case my joke wasn’t clear)
