This morning, a deeply unsettling event unfolded just steps away from my office. I had been delivering Bird Friendly City Certificates for the Environment Minister’s signature — one more step in our collective effort to protect birds from urban hazards — when I became an unwitting witness to the very thing I work to prevent.
