There don't seem to be the worms, bugs, gardens and fruit trees around as much as there used to be.

Urban areas are more urban than before, and suburban areas are more urban. Out in the countryside there are still animals, but I don't see as many small birds. And even robins are rare, as rare as bluebirds and cardinals used to be.
