Some of the birds seem to actually thrive around humans. They found that birds with larger brains were able to find new food** more accurately and avoid anthropogenic danger more accurately than birds with smaller brains. In order to thrive in an urban environment, birds need to develop larger brains like seagulls or have more offspring like pigeons.
That is, huge brains or a large number of offspring are two key factors for birds to survive in unnatural environments.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, suggests that as urbanization continues to mature, counter-urbanization will emerge and people's lives will gradually shift to the natural environment, which may boost conservation efforts for birds. The new study fills a gap in knowledge about how pigeons and other species with smaller brains can survive in cities.
Dr. Cerro and his colleagues analysed a number of bird databases and museum collections, including brain and body size, maximum lifespan, global distribution, and breeding frequency, which contained detailed information on more than 629 birds in 27 cities around the world.
The results of the analysis suggest that the size of a bird's brain plays a crucial role in its survival, but it is not the only factor, the other being the size of the bird's reproduction or population. The latter represents an adaptive capacity that prioritizes a species' future ability to reproduce rather than its current ability to survive.
According to the researchers, birds with brains that are just the average size relative to their bodies are the least likely to live in cities. The researchers say they found a rough pattern in their studies, but in the future, it could be even more interesting to learn about the data behind them. Understanding what makes some species better able to adapt and even reproduce in urban environments will help researchers understand how biodiversity will respond as cities continue to expand.

I think there is a big disadvantage, if there are not many birds in the farmland, the whole system of the farmland will be damaged, and the crops will not grow very well.

Not good. Because this is likely to affect the development of society, it is likely to affect the ecological environment, and there are certain drawbacks.

I think that's a bad thing, because it's not good for the development of agriculture and it's not good for the progress of agricultural technology, so I think it's a bad thing.
First, the hierarchy was abolished, the Meiji Restoration abolished the division of the five clans and allowed the population to move, second, the privileges of the nobility were abolished and they were allowed to start production, and finally, the state promoted urbanization with practical encouragement.

The speed of urbanization in China is quite astonishing As far as a large number of migrant workers move into the city, it can be seen that in general, in terms of the realization situation, the problem that extends from this is concerned, urbanization has become an indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land, and a large number of rural idle labor force has poured in, causing huge employment pressure, which is caused by excessive development, although in all walks of life and economic development, it has been repeatedly emphasized that it is good and fast, but it is not a hard two-handed grasp I am not a farmer, I can't tell you what my farmer friends think, but China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and the understanding of agriculture should be very profound Land is the day of food The tide of history will not retreat There may be relative independence in terms of consciousness Maybe it is like drinking water and being warm and cold and self-aware In my hometown, some people will sell their arable land and get rich overnight There are also those who fight for three points of thin land Urbanization is the process of transition from agricultural population to non-agricultural population Land annexation is an inevitable trend So this matter has a long way to go I want to fully realize it It may be that when the whole people really go to a well-off life, urbanization is inevitable Britain has been the first country in the world since the Industrial Revolution Their maturity has also gone through some pain and struggle, and the country's current series of policies to support agriculture and benefit agriculture are undoubtedly conducive to the development of urbanization, but they are just some immature opinions, I hope it will help you.
