Celina is an ecologist who is researching birds’ behaviors and immigration by tracking their footage. Recently, she found a fantastic tool a bird camera feeder which can monitor and record birds remotely. She thought it may be a subsidiary tool for her research.
Different food in the grain also attracts different bird species. Then, it can be a good way to observe different bird’s behaviors. When there was a visitor, Celina would scrutinize the bird, including its feeding styles. House finches are gregarious feeding birds that always feed in flocks, so Celina always saw several house finches at one time. They generally stayed on the feeder for several minutes until chased away by other birds. The male house finches tend to leave when females come in to eat. Unlike house finches that tend to sit at the feeder and eat as much as possible, some birds like the Tufted Titmouse will grab a grain and fly away to eat it elsewhere. Some birds like blue jay and crows exhibit aggressive behaviors when eating, so other birds will fly away from the feeder.
