Fig. 4.

Relative abundance of the 12 (A–L) most commonly occurring garden bird species recorded during 10-min point counts at urban study properties in northern Auckland, New Zealand, before, during, and after the implementation of an experimental feeding regime. Experimental (Exp.) group: F, feeding properties; NF, nonfeeding properties. Within each species type (introduced/native) species are listed in order of mean abundance over all counts (n = 597). For species scientific names see Table 2. The vertical dotted lines indicate the start and end of the feeding regime. NB: y axis scale varies with species.
