Tallamy points out that almost all migrating (迁徙) birds depend on insects to feed their young.We cant let the plants and animals around us disappear, says Tallamy. The way to protect them is to give them food to
21、 eat. But when we plant non-native plants, we are breaking the food chain, because then we dont have the insects the birds need to live. Thats bad for the Earth.
