This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s reciting propaganda contradicted by basic science. Glyphosate is an herbicide. It kills plants by interfering with their ability to produce some amino acids. It doesn’t harm animals like birds or people.

Actually, transgenic technology has been a big help to birds because Bt seeds don’t need as harsh insecticides in the seed coating. These coatings have been known to harm some birds.
