But no one has mentioned those 4 brilliant articles in the last Wingspan
about feeding or caring for birds in urban areas.
They are a real challenge to purists - and to people who moan about losing
species but do not do the right thing in their gardens and neighbourhoods.
Anyhow, many thanks - aren't we Birding-Aussers so lucky to have people like
you scanning the Web for interesting stuff!
I see what the authors mean on
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080403104353.htm
But it was surprising to see their picture shows three European species -
House Sparrow, Goldfinch, Greenfinch - but on a quick scan I did not see
encouraging exotics as an issue.
If feeding has down sides - but the up side of favouring interest in and
care for birds - what should we do ?
