Pesticides

[brocher]

Just read an article in a magazine about research done at a university in Canada on neonicotinoids effects on birds. One particular neonicotinoid had a devastating effect on white crown sparrows. Birds given a single grain of treated corn became weak within hours also lost their sense of direction harming their ability to migrate. Makes you wonder about what we're eating ourselves and what we're giving our birds
