Boom Time for Bully Birds

place Online via Zoom expand_more

The ‘Understanding Nature in Your Garden’ series would not be complete without this topic - Problematic bully birds! As many keen bird watchers may have noticed, the birds that share our suburbs have changed over time. We are now seeing fewer small bush birds and more aggressive species in our urban parks and gardens.

So, what is driving this change? Why do some species thrive in our backyards while others struggle? And what can we do to better support the more sensitive species? To answer these questions, we’ve invited Jacinta Humphrey from La Trobe University to share her findings on what makes a garden bird-friendly.

This session is great for those who are having issues with some of the problematic birds in our environment, or those wanting to understand the issue more deeply and as a result, incorporate some different gardening practices.
