Winter food provisioning reduces future breeding performance in a wild bird

Author: Plummer, K.E., Bearhop, S., Leech, D.I., Chamberlain, D.E. & Blount, J.D.

Published: 2013

A new study by scientists at the University of Exeter, in collaboration with the BTO and the University of Turin, has found reduced breeding performance in woodland Blue Tits given access to extra food the previous winter. Birds were provided with fat, fat with added vitamin E, or no additional food. The following spring, Blue Tits with access to extra food produced young that were smaller, weighed less and had lower fledging success than adults that were not fed.
