Like frogs, birds are disapearing from the earth as well. Yes, birds are disappearing, just not as fast as frogs. There was a book written in the 1950s I believe by the same name when DDT killed chicks of almost every bird throughout the U.S. when this book was first published.
Even though DDT was banned in the United States because of public outcry many of the herbicides and insecticides that replaced it have been even worse and more deadly in their own way. For example, Dioxin, which has NO safe level for humans. However, every paper that is bleached white including toilet paper contained dioxin. Otherwise, it wouldn't be white. Toxic shock in women in the past was caused by dioxin in female products worn internally. Though most of these things have been corrected, dioxin is still used in a manifold of uses including herbicides. The formulas are just more disguised now as variants from Agent Orange that was sprayed in the DMZ during the Viet Nam war to kill all plant life then there. Because of the spraying then many children are still being born with multiple heads, no arms, no legs, or two many legs or arms and various other birth defects even today 35 or more years later.
Like I said, dioxin has no safe level for humans or any mammal on earth. Dioxin is not the only chemical used by humans that has no safe level for any living thing.
I'm writing this because of the LBAM spraying of artificial pheromones was thought to be safe. If it was so safe why are there almost no scrub jays or woodpeckers left. 90% are gone since the spraying. Last year was a silent spring where I live in a pine forest on the coast of california. I had to make to with crows and seagulls this year. Luckily, there are still some squirrels too. But like I said, 90% of the scrub jays and woodpeckers and all the other local birds are gone.
