Calgary Recognized as Bird Friendly City

Calgary has been recognized as a bird-friendly city by Nature Canada, receiving its third certification in 2023, making it the first city in Canada to achieve this milestone. The city has implemented measures to mitigate threats to birds, such as reducing window collisions and controlling cat predation through its Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw. With over 8,500 hectares of natural areas, Calgary supports nearly 300 bird species year-round, contributing to efforts to reverse declining bird populations. The Bird Friendly program emphasizes community participation in protecting local wildlife.
