Food preferences by birds using bird-feeders in winter: a large-scale experiment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Intentional winter bird feeding in gardens is one of the most common interactions between birds and humans. Because feeding may have both desired effects (provisioning of nutritious food for under-nourished birds) and undesired effects (favouritism of competitively superior species, transmission of disease), management of supplementary sites should be optimized from an ecological and conservation perspective. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to experimentally test winter food preferences of birds, with underlying potential influence of habitat (rural vs. urban) on realised food preferences pattern. Methods: We conducted an experimental analysis of food preferences of wintering birds by provided bird-feeders in urban and rural environments across Poland. Data were collected twice during winter 2013-2014 across Poland, in total with 80 experimental trials. Results: Sunflower seeds were the most preferred food supplement both in urban and rural habitats, significantly more exp
