Benefits of Wild Bird Feeding


Our ad hoc journal club continues. We were delighted to read in Nature Research Highlights, that a study in Ireland demonstrated that birds who have access to feeders have greater breeding success than birds who do not. So get out there, and hang up a feeder! The paper is Robb, et al, in Biol Lett. doi:10.1098/rsbl.2007.0622 (2008).
