Rudolf Koes coordinates the annual tally in Winnipeg , which typically takes place in the week before or after Christmas day .

Koes has seen a few changes since he started the count in 1969 , shortly after he arrived in the city from the Netherlands .

The count is important: to keep tabs on the health of birds, which Koes says often say something about our planet.

“If you remember the canary in the coal mine, you know what the birds are can be quite a healthy warning system for humans”.
