Pesticides kill birds and other species as well as humans. Bird eggs are deformed or the chicks have some sort of deformities. Condors have been particularly hit with pesticides and the population has been in danger for a long time. Many birds are migratory between the United States and Mexico ( they don't know boundaries) and pollution of all sorts has effected their populations. Pesticides run into rivers, lakes, and other waters. The pollutants get into the food chain and into the birds and animals that feed off the various plants and fish. Oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico have contributed to this and once the oil is in the food chain it spreads into the entire environment . Oil will remain a 100 years in the environment.
