# Avian Eating Lessons Scientists Say New Blackcap Bird Species is Effect of Dependence on Humans By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-05 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackcap-bird References: [treehugger](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/12/birdfeeders-found-to-cause-evolution-bird-species.php) & [news.bbc](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8393443.stm) It has been discovered that a [new species of bird](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdaid) is being born in Britain, which is entirely reliant on [birdfeeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdfy-feeder-vista). The European Blackcap bird used to make trips down to Spain during the winter, but now it flys to the northern part of the UK to feed. Scientist say that this is giving the birds a better way to get through the winter. But it seems to me that we are making an entire species of bird dependent on a fast food lifestyle. I love it.
