Bird extinction by 2000 would've probably made us wake up to climate change and habitat destruction way sooner. Could've been a dark turning point to make humanity take nature seriously.

People underestimate the importance of birds. They're not just about flight. They're indicators of environmental health. Their loss would mean we've failed to protect our planet.

I guess all those games like Angry Birds would've been super weird in that world. 'Extinct Birds'? Doesn't have the same ring to it. 😂

Honestly don't think it'd be as catastrophic as some say. Nature adapts. Something else would've taken over their ecological jobs, right?

No birds? Perfect, sleep in without those annoying tweets every morning, amirite? Plus, no more bird poop on my car every day. Sounds like a win to me lol.

Wow, saying 'flight problems' is like the biggest understatement of the century. Birds being extinct would mean the collapse of many natural systems. You'd see a cascade of extinctions following that, especially in insect populations that birds keep in check. And no pollinators like hummingbirds? Agriculture would take a huge hit, not to mention forests relying on seed dispersal. Biodiversity would plummet.

flight problems? not just that, think airplane designs, they're inspired by birds. No birds means maybe we'd have even weirder looking planes now, assuming we'd sorted out the tons of ecological messes.

If birds had gone extinct, ecosystems worldwide would be devastated, dude. Birds play critical roles in pollination, pest control, and seed dispersal. Plus, no morning bird songs? That's a sad world.

just imagine mornings w/o birdsong :(

If birds went extinct, we'd probs be living in a dystopia. The environment falling apart around us, you feel me? Birds dying off would've been a massive red flag showing we're doomed. Take the bees for instance - they're in danger, and if they go, we're in big trouble.

We must consider the ripple effects. Birds are integral to many food webs. Losing these critical species would mean some plants wouldn't be able to reproduce due to a lack of seed dispersal, resulting in a decline in biodiversity. Imagine walking through forests without hearing any birds or seeing vibrant flashes of color from wings fluttering. It'd be more than just flight problems; it would be a quieter, less vibrant world with unforeseen consequences on pollination and even human culture.

lol, 'flight problems', get it? cuz birds fly 😂 but fr, that'd suck, no more pigeons to mess with in the city squares haha

This is honestly a nightmare scenario. Birds contribute so much to the control of pests and pollinate plants. Without them... Agriculture would suffer big time, not to mention the silence without bird song would be haunting. 😢

If we go back in history, the absence of birds could have altered human cultures profoundly. Many indigenous cultures view birds as spiritual messengers. No birds, maybe some spiritual beliefs would be different? And in terms of science, think about how much we've learned about flight from studying birds. The Wright brothers were inspired by birds' flight mechanics for their airplane designs. So without birds, aviation history might have taken a different course!

Probs we'd all be knee-deep in bugs, but hey, who needs birds when you have drones, right? Next up: mechanical birds for pest control. 🤖🐦

Bird extinction would change ecosystems drastically! Insects would overrun crops cuz birds wouldn't be there to eat 'em. Pollination would be a mess too without birds spreading seeds. We're talking a major shift, not just 'flight problems'.
