• Garden bird feeding predicts the structure of urban avian assemblages (2008, background): “Providing supplementary food for birds will almost always increase the range of species and the number of individuals visiting an individual garden (Savard et al ., 2000; Daniels & Kirkpatrick, 2006; Parsons et al ., 2006).”
• Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “…suburban gardens which seem to be quite harmless at first glance, could indirectly reduce local avian biodiversity, if overabundant, larger and aggressive species profit unequally more from feeders, excluding smaller, subordinant ones from the surroundings of feeding stations (Parsons et al. 2006).”
• Avifaunal disarray due to a single despotic species (2013, background): “< 63 g), and most are insectivores or nectarivores (Piper & Catterall, 2003; Parsons et al., 2006; Mac Nally et al., 2012).”
• Feeding birds in our towns and cities: a global research opportunity (2008, background): “…concerns that feeding may enhance populations of some introduced species, such as common starlings Sturnus vulgaris and house sparrows Passer domesticus, as well as certain larger and more behaviourally dominant species at the expense of native species (Chace and Walsh 2006, Parsons et al. 2006).”
• The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity (2011, unknown): “In a comparison of various domestic gardens, Parsons et al. (2006) conclude that more native birds are to be found in gardens with predominantly native vegetation.”
