Some birds may be less afraid of humans after pandemic, study suggests

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:30:42 GMT

A new study from UCLA has found that some urban birds may actually be less afraid of people following the coronavirus pandemic that saw millions of Americans spending more time indoors and less time in crowded public squares.The findings came as a shock to UCLA researchers who expected the opposite to be true. The researchers initially theorized that the return of humans into the public space would scare off birds that had grown accustomed to having it for themselves.The study involved dark-eyed juncos, which have thrived on the campus of UCLA for around 20 years. Scientists have been studying fear and aggression in the campus birds for several years, dating back to several years before the pandemic.When cases COVID-19 swept across the world and led to a shift in education, prompting most universities to switch to online instruction, the number of people on UCLA's campus dropped significantly. The nearly empty campus gave researchers a unique chance to study the behavior of the bird...
