time of day affects how many birds would turn up to eat. In
writing an evaluation of my investigation, I pointed out that I
used the same type of food for every test, but while researching
into how this might make my investigation more reliable, I could
only find the different types of food that the birds eat, and

the type of food I put out for birds (house sparrows) affect how
many come to eat? Also, is it possible to cite a reliable source

spread of food and use of different feeding techniques. Did your
investigation focus on one taxon of birds or did it record all
birds? I'm using plain white bread for this investigation (I
