National Garden Club Members have been asked to participate in a citizen science project.
Do you feed wild birds with a bird feeder?
Scientists at the University of Georgia are conducting a research study to learn more about people’s bird feeding behaviors and how they help protect wild bird health. We invite you to take a short 10–15 minute survey. Your responses will help scientists better understand how we can support healthy bird populations.
To fill out the survey, use this link: http://bit.ly/43uopoL
(The link may take a little while to load.)Thank you for your time and for helping us keep our feathered friends safe and healthy. Please feel free to share this survey with others and repost the flyer!

We are interested in understanding people’s bird feeding behaviors, opinions on wild bird health, and what actions people take to protect the health of birds that visit their bird feeders. The survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
