Birds are more afraid of women than men: New Research Reveals

 New York: A new study has revealed that birds living in cities are more fearful of women than men.

In a study published in the journal ‘People and Nature’ in December 2025, researchers observed 37 different species of birds found in cities in 5 European countries and the results revealed that these birds fly away faster when women approach them than men.

According to the results of the study, birds can distinguish the gender of humans approaching them. During this study, the researchers carefully examined how far a bird decides to leave its place and fly away when a human approaches.

During this study, it was found that men were able to keep the birds calm until they got closer, on average, one meter, compared to women.

In this regard, Professor John Marzloff of the University of Washington says that these research results are preliminary. Although birds have the ability to recognize humans, the scientific reasons for their different reactions based on gender are not yet fully clear.
