How to make your garden bush-bird friendly
About
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 Dr Jacinta Humphrey to share her findings on what makes a garden bush bird-friendly.Dr Jacinta Humphrey (she/her) is an Urban Ecologist and Research Fellow with the ICON Science group at RMIT University. She completed her PhD in Landscape and Conservation Ecology at La Trobe University. Her current work explores Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design and aims to find opportunities to enhance habitat for wildlife in residential streets, urban parks, schoolyards and private gardens.
