108. A simple example...

112. Is it good to feed the winter birds? Yes... for the reasons one might suspect... http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/

113. More than 40 percent of U.S. households feed their backyard birds, and in the United Kingdom, the rate is as high as 75 percent. A study conducted during winter in Wisconsin showed that black-capped chickadees with access to bird seed had a much higher overwinter survival rate (69 percent) as compared to those without access to human-provided seed (37 percent survival Furthermore, some studies have shown that birds making it through the winter in better physical condition see those benefits carry over into the nesting season Bird feeding produces significantly earlier egg laying dates, larger clutches of eggs, higher chick weights and higher overall breeding success across a wide range of bird species Is it good to feed the winter birds? http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/

114. Is it good to feed the winter birds? Yes... for the reasons one might suspect... http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/ BUT...

115. Is it good to feed the winter birds? Yes... for the one might suspect... http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/ A holistic view would also consider...

116. feeding can promote the survival and reproduction of the not-quite-fittest one research group found that birds fed during winter subsequently laid a smaller number of eggs that had lower hatching success and ultimately fledged fewer young than birds that weren’t fed at all the offspring that did fledge weighed less and had a lower survival rate than the young of unfed birds Is it good to feed the winter birds? http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/

117. both species [in two U.K. studies], when they had access to bird food, laid fewer eggs, had lower hatching success, and ultimately had fewer chicks fledged feeding an irresistible diet that was unbalanced – too high in fat to produce high-quality eggs Is it good to feed the winter birds? http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/

118. bird feeding allowed individuals with a lower reproductive capacity which ordinarily would not survive the winter the chance to nest the feeders may be in poor quality nesting habitat – leading the birds to choose these suboptimal sites as nesting areas in the spring Is it good to feed the winter birds? http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/

119. So from the holistic view, one must look at things like the impacts of bird feeding not only on the survival of the birds fed, but also on things like... http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/ Is it good to feed the winter birds?

120. overall reproductive success other factors such as disease transmission species range expansion population trajectories and the long-range evolutionary effects on the species Is it good to feed the winter birds? http://blog.nature.org/science/2015/01/05/winter-bird-feeding-good-or-bad-for-birds/
