Sugar-water Bird Feeding Project
Feeding birds in backyards is a popular pastime in New Zealand. More and more people provide sugar water to support native birds. But, little is known about how this practice might affect our native birds – does it help them or harm them?
The main goal of this project was to determine the effect of residential garden sugar-water provisioning on the behaviour and health of native New Zealand birds, such as tūī, korimako and tauhou.
