Do urban birds prefer or avoid different colours, and does it affect how readily they'll visit containers to drink? Does hot weather have an impact?

Another recent paper in #BirdStudy showed autumn densities of Pheasant & Red-Legged Partridge in southern England can be an astonishing 2,500 birds per km2 on land near releases. After winter, there were still up to 700 birds/km2. That's huge numbers.
