Bird Feeding Will the color of a bird feeder influence the number of birds feeding?

Question by JOHN B: Will the color of a bird feeder influence the number of birds feeding?
My daughter is trying this as a science experiment for school. I am looking for a hypothesis.

Best answer:

Answer by Karen C
Probably not, but it’s an interesting notion.

Hypothisis: All other factors being the same, more birds will feed at a (insert color here) feeder.

Be sure to control for other factors that affect feeder choice…food, wind direction, distance from cover, and probably a bunch of others that I haven’t thought of.

Science fair judges don’t care whether the hypothesis is correct, they just care that it exists.
