California Birds Farm Aims To Battle Insect Pests
California launches a state bird farm near Hayward to breed insectivorous birds for distribution across the state. The project, advised by the Audubon Society, aims to curb crop pests by increasing bird populations, with initial efforts focusing on larger woodland species and expanding to desert birds. The program is funded by the state treasury and overseen by the fish and game commission, as experts warn on the growing losses from insect pests and the need to restore balance between birds and pests.
