Rare yellow birds need wild roses to survive in British Columbia: researcher

by Hina Alam, The Canadian Press Posted May 9, 2021 5:00 am ADT Last Updated May 9, 2021 at 5:09 am ADT VANCOUVER A little yellow bird’s rescue from the brink of extinction in British Columbia hinges on an oft-overlooked wild flower in the province’s Okanagan region, according to one Canadian government researcher. The importance of local wild roses emerged over a nearly 20-year experiment concentrating on the yellow-breasted chat, a tiny bird whose characteristics and precarious status have preoccupied scientists for decades. At the beginning of the 21st century, the population at one breeding site on the grounds of the Okanagan Valley’s En’owkin Centre stood at just one pair.
