New Smithsonian Study Links Declines in Suburban Backyard Birds to Presence of Nonnative Plants Insect-eating birds that depend on high-calorie, high-protein cuisine (namely caterpillars and spiders) to feed their young are finding the menu severely lacking in backyards landscaped with even a small proportion of nonnative plants, according to a new study from SCBI.
