Whilst these developments are important for our community, they may have a negative impact on the birds that share our suburbs. So, how do birds respond to urban development? Why do some species cope better than others? And what can we do to better support the more sensitive species?</p> <p>We look forward to hearing Dr Jacinta Humphrey insights on what makes a residential street, urban park or private garden, bird-friendly, whilst sharing space with you all virtually over a soothing cuppa!</p> <hr> <p>About the Speaker</p> <p>Dr Jacinta Humphrey // (she/her)<br> Urban Ecologist and Postdoctoral Researcher with the ICON Science group at RMIT University. Her work explores the application of Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design and aims to guide the creation of multi-functional spaces where people and nature can thrive.
