Does behavior (shy vs bold; rare vs abundant) and flock size (small vs large) of bird species play role in niche partitioning among sympatric species?

12 January 2021 1 10K Report

Sympatric birds may avoid competition via multiple strategies - by different activity period, different diet, different microhabitat etc. Has any one looked into behavior of sympatric birds as means to achieve niche partition, specially when sympatric species have significant overlap wrt diet and habitat requirements?
