The old line of the canary in a coal mine comes to mind.
A climate-sensitive bird hints at global warming'''s lasting impact
Yep, birds know. Now, if only some of the birdbrains got the message, we might yet be able to do something before it's too late.
But, I tend to doubt it.

A climate-sensitive bird hints at global warming'''s lasting impact
Within the field of ornithology, it is becoming difficult not to see echoes of climate change across the spectrum of research...
Take the black-throated blue warbler. The migration patterns of this small songbird have been slowly but steadily changing over the past 50 years, according to a study published Thursday in the journal The Auk: Ornithological Advances.
The timing of the bird’s flight patterns has been advancing, with its spring migration occurring around one day earlier per decade. While the warbler isn’t facing the same risks as some of its other feathered friends, it’s the kind of small but unignorable change that ornithologists are becoming all too familiar with.
