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]
