The term "habitat" doesn't exclusively refer to the animal's nesting site. It's been long known that animals need large and connect stretches (NOT FRAGMENTS) of natural areas in order to forage for food and nesting materials in a sustainable manner.
"Several bird species in Ontario rely heavily on forests for their survival. Some key examples include the Wood Thrush, which prefers large, mature forests with diverse undergrowth. Acadian Flycatchers need large, undisturbed forests, especially in southern Ontario's Carolinian forests. Brown creepers favor forests with large trees for foraging and dead or dying trees for nesting. Nuthatches, like the White-breasted Nuthatch, are also arboreal birds that depend on trees for their food and shelter.
"Wild turkeys require a variety of habitat types, including both forest and open areas, to meet their needs. A good-quality habitat can support one bird per 30 acres, or one flock per 640 to 800 acres"
And that's just a few of the species of birds who are trying to live, just like the rest of us. If Canada is "not for sale" then neither is Ontario
