The devastation wrought by these super pesticides has decimated birds here in the USA. Prior to round up everything we would have days on end in the fall od birds gathering setting on power lines and flying south. All kinds, now if you see a couple hundred it's rare. Rabbits, pheasants and other wildlife are a rare sight. The corn and bean fields are clean as a whistle, but no wildlife. Birds and other animals need cover, small seed, grass that harbors bugs. Now we have none of that. Our ravenous appetite to have picture perfect monoculture with no weeds, no life will destroy us someday. I farm using no chemicals, you can feel the soil teaming with life when you touch and walk on it, vs the chemically treated fields that are dead.
