China is home to more than 1,000 kinds of birds because the country is large and has almost every weather type to suit them.
But not every one knows how to take good care of them. Some cut down trees and destroy the birds’ homes. This has made the num ber of 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(仙鹤)．Some birds you see every day，like pigeons and parrots，are also in danger!
To help them，people have set up 7,500 reserves(保护区)which are suitable and safe for the birds．In China，there are big reserves like the ones near Dongting and Poyang lakes．
Is there something that you can do for birds? Take care of their homes．Feed them with something delicious．Well，think it over and get going now!
