How, why, where and when people feed birds?—Spatio‐temporal changes in bird‐feeding in Finland by Purabi Deshpande, Anna Haukka, Katja Rönkä, Tuomas Aivelo, Andrea Santangeli, Rose Thorogood, Aleksi Lehikoinen

“…While bird‐feeding can increase connections between people and nature, there are increasing calls from researchers and the general public to limit this activity due to emerging knowledge of potential negative ecological impacts (e.g. biased competition and spread of pathogens). However, what motivates changes in bird‐feeding habits remains largely unknown, despite the ‘provisioners’ perspective’ being critical for designing and implementing policy that benefits both animals and people. …”
