Now people are trying to make the world a better place for birds to live in. People in China start the Bird Loving Week. Students from all parts of the country have been doing something to care for birds.

Meng Yiru, a 16-year-old student from Nanyang Model High School in Shanghai, asked people to protect birds: Never put birds in cages. Go to visit them in the wild if you really love them. “I’ll never forget the little sparrow(麻雀)I kept in a cage,” said Meng. “It stopped eating after I caught it and soon died.” Meng and her classmates put many of their ideas in their 300-word report to ask people to take better care of birds.

China is the home of more than 1,000 kinds of birds because the country is large and has almost every weather type to suit them.

But not everyone knows how to take good care of them. Some cut down trees and destroy the birds’homes. This has made the number of the birds go down quickly. A study shows that one out of eight birds, more than 1,200 kinds, in the world could die out. This includes 95 percent of albatrosses(信天翁)and 60 percent of cranes(鹤). Some birds you see every day, like pigeons and parrots, are also in danger!

To help them, people have set up 7,500 reserves which are suitable and safe for the birds. In China, there are big reserves like the ones near the Dongting Lake in Hunan and the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. Is there anything that you can do for birds? Take care of their homes. Feed them with something delicious. Well, think it over and begin to do it now!
