Research on cognitive abilities in untrained birds
Abstract:
This study investigates the cues used for predator recognition by wild-living untrained birds great tits (Parus major). The experimental approach is used to test the reaction to the variously modified dummies of sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) and pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica) under laboratory conditions. The role of key features (yellow eye, hooked beak and talons), colour and size is tested. …moreAbstract:
