Description of habitat |
Just by the way it is created, manicured grassland, in contrast to natural grassland, is a much poorer habitat for birds. Seed-propagating grass varieties are being suppressed at the expense of root-expanding species. This leaves no potential food source for seed-eaters and only plant- or insect-eating bird species will therefore come onto lawns and sport complexes. Some grubs can be found under the surface too.
