Question by pags92: Describe how you might design a scientific experiment to address this question. What observations would you tr?
Suppose you spot two species of birds feeding side by side, eating seeds from the same plant. You begin to wonder whether competition is at work. Describe how you might design a scientific experiment to address this question. What observations would you try to make at the outset? Would you try to manipulate the system to test your hypothesis that the two birds are competing? If so, how?

Answer by Lex Lodge
Could be some difficult things to separate here; like is there another food source they could eat from, or does one bird actually help the other in some way. I have that across the street: a slightly larger bird can break the apart crackers, actually making it easier for the sparrows.
Anyway I guess you could try something like feeding boxes which somehow separate the species by having different size openings.
