Default Wild birds

"cats a responsible for 55 MILLION wild bird deaths per year."

So if one in 4 of them laid 6 eggs each year and the average life of each
bird is 4 years, that's 95 million extra birds in year one, 625 million in
year 2, 3,750 million in year 3,
and if each bird deposits just half an ounce of droppings a day, year 3
would result in more than 520,000 tons of droppings A DAY.
All I can say is thank heaven for cats.
