My project discuss a detailed study of why birds feed at different habitat s when there is food available to them. And if they exhibit different feeding habitat is what makes them do so. This study focused on common songbird species of various sizes and shapes. The theoretical aspects of my project are that species that are greater in size feed on the ground to conserve energy and the species that are smaller in size but are dominating feed at the feeder and the other ones mostly feed away from the feeder. My research is underpinned by idea such as interspecific competition, adequate weather for the birds to come out of their places. Some key words that could be used to describe my project are bird species and their different feeding habits
This is the first time you have brought up bird size as a potential prediction in your study, if you include this in your final paper, make sure you look for research articles that support this idea. Competition rather than bird size is another factor you have talked about in the past and mention briefly here. In be there are some interesting research articles on competition among birds especially in urban environments. The articles may be about aspects of bird behaviour other than feeding, but could still be relevant to your idea. For key words you need either a single word or two words together, so ‘bird species’ and ‘feeding habits’ would work and you need one more for a third if you were publishing that is!
