Rodenticides and Birds

Rodenticides kill owls and other raptors in our city. We’re working to stop that. Four famous owls have died this spring due to rodenticide poisoning: Flaco in New York City, and the entire beloved Great horned owl family in Lincoln Park. Willowbrook Wildlife Center has confirmed other raptor deaths due to rodenticide poisoning. Limiting the use of rodenticides would help our local hawks, eagles and owls to live longer lives.
