Description: Article discussing how birds have adapted to urban foraging amid the artificial concrete and steel ecosystems of cities.
eferring to an inner-city bird perched on a neglected dumpster as an avian cockroach or feathered rat may well raise appreciative nods. In fact, the ability of vast numbers of birds to make their homes in cities regularly calls upon the ingenuity of people to establish bird-free zones. This situation is not restricted to North America. In Moscow, for example, to keep Hooded Crows from sliding down renowned and easily scratched gold-leaf on onion domes, recordings of falcons and Northern Goshawks (the crow's major predators) were played and trained falcons released. Animal rights activists periodically disapprove of such niche-emptying efforts, but when birds are in conflict with people, it is the avian populations that are reduced and the human populations appeased.
