Asekho Mantintsilili and colleagues studied how artificial sugar-water feeders affect bird behaviour in a nature reserve's recovering vegetation after fires. Their findings are important in helping manage populations of the 300 plant species that rely on the birds to reproduce.
The ecologists conducted their experiment at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve in South Africa, where they set up 8 sugar-water feeders and watched bird behavior before, during and after installing feeders.
