Have you ever thought of a tree without a dense nest and a bird chirping? Have you ever thought of a blue sky without colorful birds flying and dancing? Have you ever thought of a jungle without diverse animals roaming here and there? We live in a world of greedy and predacious people where nobody cares about anything except themselves. Like humans, birds and animals are also living things and need proper habitats for living and producing.

Nevertheless, because of human activities, they are going extinct. We can now find only the history of hundreds of birds and animals and can imagine them. According to an estimate, about 99.9 percent of birds, animals, and mammals that once lived are now extinct. The number of species that have become extinct is 190 birds, 78 mammals, and 572 animals. We are left only with portraits of those species and a small amount of information. Birds and animal extinction became common for numerous reasons, including improper habitat, hunting, and the introduction of non-native species.

Human development is known as the primary cause of the ruination of animals habitat.

First, animals and birds need a proper habitat for reproduction, just like humans. Human development is known as the primary cause of the ruination of their habitat. As we improved, our needs increased as well. We needed a plain area to live efficiently, and to get this, and we started cutting trees. Our needs were still out of limits; now, we needed an area to farm, and once again, we cut trees. In completing our desires, nobody knows how many lives we destroyed. Birds and animals create a nest in trees to easily lay eggs there. However, because of deforestation, there are few trees left. There are more birds and animals and less habitat for them to live and reproduce. This process became our routine with time, and birds and animals were in great danger. We made industries reduce the workforce and get quality goods. The usage of killer chemicals is in process, and the wastage of chemicals is flown into oceans which are resulting to the death of aquatic species.

Furthermore, hunting animals and birds became a favorite activity of most people. Moreover, it is done on a large scale in some parts of the world. Though some animals are dangerous to human life, they should be kept calm instead of aggressive. What would happen if your family was killed in front of you? The wish for revenge can result in aggression in you, and you can do anything to get revenge. It is the same with other living things; they can feel danger and become aggressive to keep their babies safe. There are a lot of animals and birds listed in the extinction kingdom. People do not know when birds and animals bear babies, and they keep the process in progress which endanger not only animals but also newborn babies. In this way, the process can shorten the life expectancy of animals and birds, and they go extinct. People who want to hunt animals should be given some caution to keep the animals and birds safe. Some overpopulated animals and birds create a nuisance for the public and should be a hunt to balance their population. In this way, neither the animals nor birds can get extinct, nor can the overpopulated concern the public.

If we cannot control these extinction factors, we might lose the remaining ones in near future.

In addition, introducing non-native species can also cause the extinction of birds and animals. Species can grow up in their native countries, and it is challenging to grow up in non-native regions. Nevertheless, scientists are introducing them to countries where they need help to live a complete day. Can a fish survive without water? Or can a polar bear live in temperate areas? The answer is straightforward, no. There is a list of animals that lost their lives living in non-native regions.

In short, the beauty of the sky, oceans, and trees and the sounds that make us relaxed when exhausted should be eliminated from the world. If we cannot control these extinction factors, we might lose the remaining ones in the future. It is predicted that we might lose more species because it becomes difficult to cope with the effects of these causes.
