A commonly used class of pesticides, known as neonicotinoids or neonics, may be more harmful to birds than previously thought, according to a new report by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC). Neonics have been suspected to harm bees and other pollinating insects as well. The ABC is calling for a ban on treating seeds with the pesticides and for other uses of the pesticide to be suspended until their effects have been independently reviewed.
