Bird Friendly Regina
With Regina's designation as a certified Bird Friendly City, there is a strong focus to make our city a safe haven for wild birds. The Bird-Friendly City campaign is an initiative started by Nature Canada. Bird Friendly Cities work towards creating safer urban environments for birds by focusing on three main aspects: reducing threats to birds, restoring habitat and natural spaces, and educating and mobilizing the public.

A Bird Friendly City is a community where:
- Key threats to birds are effectively mitigated;
- Nature is restored so native bird populations can thrive;
- Residents are actively engaged in admiring and monitoring local bird populations;
- Organizations are creating events to protect birds;
- Progressive municipal policies are created to protect urban bird populations; and
- A Bird Team has been created to oversee and lead these initiatives.
Birds play an essential role in maintaining healthy and resilient ecosystems in our communities and our planet. But Canada’s birds need your help. There are three billion fewer birds in North America today than 50 years ago. Much of these losses are caused by preventable human activities including: window collisions, predation by outdoor pets, habitat loss and degradation due to urban sprawl and development, and light pollution to name a few.
