Just as smaller theropods survived the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs, smaller birds seem to have an advantage in a time of climate change.

Even birds are experiencing shrinkflation.

He smol, but he mighty.
He build nest, nice and tidy.
He used to be fright, by the big birds in flight,
But now he do sing where he likey.

We need to preserve a remnant of the large birds doomed to extinction by our presence

I think the smaller birds also have an advantage in terms of heat dissipation? Even though birds in general have high body temperatures, the smaller the critter the easier it is to get rid of heat so they’ll (theoretically) have an easier time (or better chances) to adapt to rising temperatures from climate change.

The trend correlates with many other changes over the last 30 years as well. The world is changing drastically in thousands of ways.

Pesticides, herbicides, climate, pollution, human settlements, deforesting, etc.

You can’t pretend like this is OK, losing our migratory bird species is a huge impact on our ecosystem globally

So this makes sense, but what are pigeons considered? Most things I find consider pigeons to be a medium size bird. And if we're talking large birds and small birds what What about the medium size birds. You know pigeons? crows? I would consider anything larger than a crow to be a large bird.

Makes sense that small birds are getting smaller as the global temperatures go up. The bigger you are, the easier it is to maintain your body temperature and the harder it is to cool down.

The opposite holds true as well: The smaller you are, the more energy you have to expend to maintain a stable body temperature and the quicker/easier it trends towards matching the external temperatures.

So higher temperatures on average means smaller birds have to spend less calories to maintain their metabolism.

Not a good outlook at all for larger animals though, even before you factor in that they also trend heavily to longer life cycles.

Alternate theory: birds with greater caloric needs are having a harder time fulfilling them than sedentary low-metabolism birds

I swear magpies have gotten so much bigger! They use to be the size of blackbirds and now they’re bigger than some crows! Is that just me?

In general for all animals and plans there are usually more smaller species than larger ones. So when you have a 20% loss for example the result is an overall smaller trend and the largest are all gone. In addition as you say, larger, slower growing/reproducing species are slower to adapt so tend to die of more in times of change, but have an advantage in times of stability. But don't under estimate the fact that there are are just so many small species that you don't notice when some die out whereas when large species go extinct you notice.

I think it's simple, with global ecosystems declining birds that require 2 ecosystems to thrive are losing ground to birds that stay in the same one

I wonder why birds which spend their entire life preparing to avoid cold might be having issues as the world becomes less cold.

Smaller birds are also facing massive selection pressure from CATS.

I can definitely see how migration is a risky and resource-expensive endeavor. If you can live your life staying put, there's less risk. Frankly, I'm amazed that migratory animals exist at all! It seems amazing that they would evolve to make these tremendous journeys. But they did, and the local ecosystems they visit have evolved with them, accustomed to their presence. It would be a huge shame, and a snowballing disaster, if they were to dwindle and disappear.

When you realize "smaller is better" at extinction-o-clock and you're 100 times bigger than the bird who's going to survive...

What I’m really curious about is what type of animals will take over when humans are gone. After the K-T extinction event, mammals began to replace dinosaurs as the dominant group. Maybe the mollusk will finally have their day.
