Study explores changing design of birdfeeders as influenced by unwanted guests

The first birdfeeders were made in the 19th century, and their design rapidly evolved during the 20th century. Researchers at the University of Helsinki and Aalto University consider the evolution of the birdfeeder to be an example of multispecies design, where unwanted guests have shaped the human-made artifact. Their study is published in Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space.
