D.

Have you ever seen Black-faced Spoonbills in Mai Po, Hong Kong? They are big white birds with black faces. They have long beaks that look like spoons.

In summer, Black-faced Spoonbills can be found in Northeast Asia. They like places where very few people go. In winter, they travel south. Mai Po Wetland is one of the places they like coming to most.

Black-faced Spoonbills eat fish and shrimps in shallow water by the sea.

However, many people have moved near the sea. They build factories there and also pollute the area. As a result, the birds cannot find food, so the number of Black-faced Spoonbills has continued to drop. Fewer and fewer Black-faced Spoonbills will be seen in the future if people keep polluting the birds’ homes in nature.
