(5/6) #BOU2024 #BREAK2: Could we find all the collided species via citizen science, especially with social media posts, like Facebook? The answer is, YES! 98% for Facebook, the same if not better than TaiRON, the main dedicated one for documenting wildlife mortalities. 💻📈👍

(4/6) #BOU2024 #BREAK2: The database got 3583 individuals with 172 species (about 680 species on Checklist of the Birds of Taiwan, non-vagrant species around 500) reported colliding with glass structures year-round without seasonal and spatial differences. 🗺️🪟🐦

(3/6) #BOU2024 #BREAK2: BWCs happen fast, traditional carcass-searching methods work bad in humid cities with high removal rates (feral animals and janitors). We choose to use citizen science, especially Facebook, 19 million Taiwanese accounts as detective eyes around. 🕵️‍♂️📷

(2/6) #BOU2024 #BREAK2: Why the need to initiate bird-window collision (BWC) study in Asia? Past studies are highly biased toward North America, biodiversity hotspots and major flyways in Southeast and East Asia are neglected forming biased conventional knowledge in BWC. 📑🔍

6/7 Since 2021 #Parakeets are on the UK general licence to be managed locally. Wildlife managers can use our findings to predict reactions to local control + inform future perception studies. Follow for full accepted published article in NeoBiota coming soon! #BOU2024 #BREAK2

5/7 3,033 of respondents provided text about #parakeets. We qualified their sentiments: 46% = negative, 27% = mixed & 16% = positive. Overall top 3 topics respondents mentioned: 1. #Parakeet non-native status 2. added pressure on native UK birds and 3. noise #BOU2024 #BREAK2

4/7 Many did not like the idea of #parakeets in rural areas. Few agreed on #parakeet negative impacts but few wanted it in their local area. #Parakeets in urban areas were accepted more + many liked its aesthetics, suggesting separation of appearance from impacts #BOU2024 #BREAK2

3/7 Awareness of #parakeet was high (90%). Many people knew its name to genus (43%) and species (55%) level. Less knew #parakeet numbers in UK (17%) & its full native range (10%). Respondent sample = 3,989 which overlapped well with #parakeet distribution in UK #BOU2024 #BREAK2

2/7 The colourful #parakeet is an agricultural pest in India & attacks native species in Spain. Only anecdotal evidence exists of negative impacts in the UK. We ran a survey to understand people's awareness of, knowledge of and attitudes towards #Parakeets #BOU2024 #BREAK2

1/7 Does it matter what you think about non-native species? Yes! Ignoring people's perceptions can risk conflict and ineffective species control. We surveyed people's perceptions about the non-native Ring-Necked #Parakeet in the UK. Published article coming soon! #BOU2024 #BREAK2

5/6 #BOU2024 #BREAK2: Last year, I did a preliminary study focussing on early hatching stage, using the same disturbance factor but collecting data through a camera recorder. But I wanted to improve this method to get more precise results.

4/6 #BOU2024 #BREAK2 : The purpose here is to see if urbanisation is driving different boldness levels related to parenthood. Data collected during two consecutive breeding seasons will allow us to acquire a great amount of data necessary for testing the repeatability.

3/6 #BOU2024 #BREAK2: I am therefore taking a deeper look at their reproductive behaviour. Human disturbance may require parental defence, impacting their fitness. A trade-off between brood loss and personal safety emerges through risk-taking behaviour based on risk assessment.

2/6 #BOU2024 #BREAK2 : 4 billion people living in cities now poses a big challenge for biodiversity. Species confronted with this urbanisation either adapt, leave or disappear. As urban jackdaws keep increasing, we could wonder if they react similarly to humans than rural ones?
