Blogpost #2: Birds in cities deal better in the cold than their woodland counterparts

Birds in cities deal better with cold than their woodland counterparts


Link to the original article



(Blue Tits)


This article that  takes a look at and Great tits in their native forests were compared to those who live in  Cambridge.

As it appears to be the ones that live on the woodlands are more reliable one one source of food than the ones that live in cities.Example: woodland birds are more reliable on one source of food like, caterpillars.

Also the birds on the woodlands breed, hatched and fleged less chicks than those at the city, also they took at least twice as much to hatch.

I think this article is interesting because it treats with two very common bird species in Europe but specificaly in the United Kingdom, and tells how they are affected by climate changes in both the woodlands and in in the cities Eg.: Cambridge
