Nothing against cats. Just though the statistic was interesting.
From USA Today:
Cats that live in the wild or indoor pets allowed to roam outdoors kill from 1.4 billion to as many as 3.7 billion birds in the continental U.S. each year, says a new study that escalates a decades-old debate over the feline threat to native animals.
I expect a lot of the birds killed by cats are highly common, like sparrows.
