Plastic waste kills up to a million seabirds a year. As with sea turtles, when seabirds ingest plastic, it takes up room in their stomachs, sometimes causing starvation. Many seabirds are found dead with their stomachs full of this waste. Scientists estimate that 60 percent of all seabird species have eaten pieces of plastic, a figure they predict will rise to 99 percent by 2050.

Plastic in the ocean is becoming a massive threat to the thousands of species of animals in our oceans as well as other creatures such as birds and even humans. It hard to think that more birds have plastic in them than not.
