Wiebe and her students focus on basic research in
avian biology and behavior.[2] She studies the ecology and theoretical behavior of birds, with particular attention to their reproductive success. Factors influencing reproductive success can include
habitat,
predation, availability of food, and selection of
nest sites.[1] Among the birds that she studies are
northern flickers,
bluebirds and
tree swallows.[3][4] Wiebe leads a long-term study which began in 1997, of flickers at
Riske Creek, British Columbia.[5][6][7]
