Perhaps it’s the name, or maybe the message: songbirds are in decline, some will remain, some will disappear.

Sure we’ve all heard it before, wild animals in peril, elephants, tigers, lions rhinos… but birds? One wouldn’t think so, except science confirms the facts. What is it about waking each day to birdsong? Or stealing a few moments at the window with binoculars in hand? An escape, a connection with nature. It’s calming, it’s universal, it’s necessary – because everything in life IS connected.

A few years ago, Defenders of Wildlife did a short video on Clark’s Nutcrackers and their role in the ecosystem. Should this bird disappear, or any others for that matter, there are simply no answers as to environmental impacts. No control-Z, no undo, extinction is forever.

The Messenger is an indie documentary seeking funding for its completion. A wake-up call for the masses, the film not only deserves support, its message is critical. For the environment, for future generations… for the birds, please help get the message out. No amount is too small to help fund the project!
