Can humans discriminate individual birds of the spotted bowerbird from photographs?🪶
Students from the @fusanilab.bsky.social @univie.ac.at need you to answer that question! You can test your visual discrimination skills with their online experiment (~15 min long): sosci.univie.ac.at/bowerbird_di...

Happy Valentine's day from the Dove Lab @fusanilab.bsky.social @univie.ac.at We're preparing Maria Santacà's new experiment investigating the possible role of visual illusions during courtship. Female birds will watch videos of courting males in different illusion-inducing configurations ♥️🕊️♥️
