Not the containers supplying food to our winged friends, but the people who fill the containers. Why do people do this? Jones asks in The Birds at My Table. Does the food even benefit the birds? What are the unintended consequences of providing additional food to our winged friends? Jones takes us on a wild flight through the history of bird feeding. He pinpoints the highs and lows of the practice. And he ponders this odd but seriously popular form of interaction between humans and wild animals. Most important, he points out that we know very little about the impact of feeding birds despite millions of people doing it every day. Unerringly, Jones digs at the deeper issues and questions, and he raises our awareness of the things we don't yet know and why we really should. Using the latest scientific findings, The Birds at My Table takes a global swoop from 30,000 feet down to the backyard bird feeder and pushes our understanding of the many aspects of bird feeding back up to new heights. 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 606 $aBirds$xEffect of human beings on 606 $aBirds$xFeeding and feeds 610 $agarden birds, urban ecology, supplementary feeding, nature. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 615 0$aBirds$xEffect of human beings on. 615 0$aBirds$xFeeding and feeds. 676 $a598.072/34 700 $aJones$b Darryl$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01650076 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823086603321 996 $aThe Birds at My Table$93999240 997 $aUNINA
