喂鸟是一种广泛而流行的活动，几乎影响到鸟类生态的各个方面。然而，很少有研究关注人类供给对鸟类行为的影响。以昆明市城乡广泛分布的红嘴鸥（Chroicocephalus ridibundus）为研究对象，比较了不同人工饲养强度下红嘴鸥的觅食距离和飞行起始距离。我们还进行了定量分析的关系，人工供应和行为变化，这些鸟类。结果表明，城市地区的黑头鸥的FD和FID都显著短于农村地区。此外，城市黑嘴鸥表现出一系列驯化的迹象，如主动接近人类乞求食物和觅食时，人类呼吁或喂养，除了减少FID。这表明，人类的供给使黑头鸥不那么害怕人类，并降低了它们对捕食者的防御能力。我们建议应小心及妥善地喂饲雀鸟，并须进一步监察人工喂饲雀鸟对野鸟的长远影响。
Feeding birds is a widespread and popular activity that affects almost all aspects of bird ecology. However, few studies are concerned about the impacts of human provisioning on bird behavior. In this study, we compared the foraging distance (FD) and flight initiation distance (FID) of the black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), a bird that is widely distributed in urban and rural areas in Kunming, China, under different artificial provisioning intensities. We also conducted a quantitative analysis of the relationship between artificial provisioning and behavioral changes in these birds. Our results showed that both the FD and FID of black-headed gulls in urban regions are significantly shorter than those in rural populations. Moreover, urban black-headed gulls exhibited a series of signs of domestication, such as actively approaching humans to beg for food and foraging when called or fed by humans, besides a reduction in FID. This suggests that provisioning by humans has caused black-headed gulls to be less fearful of humans and has reduced their defenses against predators. We recommend that bird feeding should be carefully and properly executed, and that the long-term effects of artificial provisioning on wild birds require further monitoring.
