Urban Bird Feeding Behavior: Global Insights and Research Gaps with a Special Focus on Bangladesh.

Urbanization has rapidly transformed natural habitats into human-dominated landscapes, profoundly affecting bird ecology, especially feeding behavior. This review synthesizes global findings on urban bird feeding, examining factors like food provisioning, seasonal shifts, interspecies competition, and anthropogenic impacts. While studies from Europe, North America, and Australia have documented significant behavioral adaptations, developing regions such as Bangladesh remain underrepresented. By identifying patterns, gaps, and emerging themes in existing research, this article highlights the need for region-specific studies and community engagement in avian conservation in urban South Asia.
