Observation of feeding behaviour in birds

På svenska

Please help us with our research. Have you seen a bird behaving interestingly at the bird table or in the wild while looking for food? If it was a chickadee, titmouse or another member of the family Paridae, we are particularly interested in your observation.

Anders Brodin would be very grateful if you submitted your observations on interesting feeding behaviour in birds. He is especially interested in behaviour that is unusual or can be considered cognitively advanced. Both observations at feeders and out in the wild are of interest.

Write about your observation as clear as possible.
Do you have a photo or a video of your observation? Please upload it here. You can only upload one file. If you have more than one, please, fill in the form again.
