Children's book

[Carol Probets <>]

I don't think it's as simple as being able to say "species X will 
always chase species Y away". It all depends on the individual birds, 
the number of each species present, whether each bird is within its 
own territory, time of year, type and quality of food available, etc.
Cheers
Carol
