would something like a zoo count as a habitat?

anonymous · Answer

Maybe, but it might make more sense to go with a natural habitat. Things get funky when zoos are introduced into the picture, because they're an artificial habitat.

Will my backyard be good enough? I'm not exactly living out in the middle of a forest or anything, and there's definitely nothing like that where I live. Maybe a park would be better?

anonymous · Answer

Maybe. What about a bird or something? There are usually birds pretty much everywhere.

Okay, so a Bluejay. Does the cutting down of trees a.k.a their home work as a limiting factor?

anonymous · Answer

Sorry I didn't respond right away! Technical issues >.< 
Not sure if this is still relevant, but yes, you're basically right. Technically a limiting factor is something like "the amount of food available in the habitat" or other things like that.
So while having trees cut down isn't DIRECTLY a limiting factor, it effects a great deal of limiting factors, such as places to nest, food, mating, etc.
