Ecology refers to the relationships between animals and plants, as well as the physical environment that surrounds them. The complex interactions between organisms reflect every aspect of their lives. The balance between birds and other animals and plants is a delicate one, and the consequences of changes to any aspect of this balance are never restricted to a single species, but affect many, either in terms of food (eating or being eaten), shelter or breeding opportunities. The ecology of birds tells us how they fit into the environment in which they live, and how they coexist with other organisms. There are two main aspects of ecology of birds: feeding ecology and breeding ecology.
