A unique
study of birdlife in South African cities has found that birds prefer wealthy
areas to poorer ones but will move out if things get too cramped. The study was
conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Turin, Italy and the
Universities of Cape Town (UCT) and the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Their
findings were published this week in the international journal of Global
Change Biology.
Co-author
on the study, UCT Associate Professor Arjun Amar said: "This work is of
particular importance because it is one of the few studies conducted in a developing country, and
the only study of its kind in Africa, where urbanisation is predicted to occur
at a faster rate than any other region on the planet."
