Is there a possibility for inaturalists to search for a group of birds and photos where they eat their food plants?
More precisely I search for food plants of parrots across all species. For example all parrot species that eat species from the plant genus Malus. Malus is a good example, because apples are widely used as useful and ornamental trees. From such pairs: Food plant - parrot species I would like to use for statistical analyses.
there’s not a great way to look for interactions in iNaturalist in bulk, unless the relevant observations with interactions have observation fields associated with them. (unfortunately, the use of observation fields is uncommon, and they aren’t always consistently applied.)
Thank you very much for the good advice, which I will take a closer look at. So far I have searched through the literature and found about 7000 entries that combine a food plant with a parrot species and an eaten plant part.
But there should be a way to include the partly great observations and photos. Partly they show more than simply the simple allocation like fruit, plant name, parrot name.
