2004

Certain fruit colours and their contrast with the background coloration are suggested to attract frugivorous birds.

In the first two experiments, we studied the fruit colour preferences of naive juvenile redwings.

In the first experiment, juvenile birds preferred black, UV-blue and red berries, to white ones. In pairwise trials, a new set of juveniles still preferr…
