Interpretation of dali48
Many species undertake long distance annual migrations - and many more perform shorter irregular movements - Birds are social - they communicate using visual signals and through calls and songs - and participate in social behaviors - including cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, and mobbing of predators - The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life...
Many species are of economic importance - mostly as sources of food acquired through hunting or farming - Some species, particularly songbirds and parrots, are popular as pets...
Human activities can also be detrimental - and have threatened numerous bird species with extinction (hunting, avian lead poisoning, pesticides, roadkill, and predation by pet cats and dogs are common sources of death for birds)...

Birdlife International and the IUCN in 2009.
The most commonly cited human threat to birds is habitat loss - Other threats include overhunting, accidental mortality due to structural collisions or long-line fishing by-catch, pollution (including oil spills and pesticide use), competition and predation from nonnative invasive species, and climate change...
