How do birds find food?

The eating habits of birds don’t resemble those of humans. Since they are warm-blooded and smaller than us, birds have to eat a lot more frequently, so they will do whatever they can to come across wild bird food.

Most of them will fly around and survey the areas around them either from the tops of the trees or, in case they are ground birds, they’ll move across large distances to see whether they come across a new source of food.

Some birds, such as eagles, parrots, and kiwis, are equipped with an excellent sense of smell, which is why they can locate their food with the assistance of their olfactory glands. However, most other birds will rely on their vision to find new food sources.

Over the years, sunbirds have become acquainted with the design and functionality of bird feeders, for example, so they will learn the routine of people so as to know when the latter place food for them in the garden
