摘要: Abstract The preferences of eight, adult, hand-reared great tits for feeding on four different types sites have been tested. There were significant differences between individuals in these preferences, and the objects correlated with birds' individual efficiencies objects. This correlation was thought to be a result experience learning during training experiment. During tests birds tended make runs visits same object type. effect more marked less-preferred objects, when had just made successful visit.
