Development of perching behaviour in chicks reared in enriched environment (2006)

Heikkila, M., Wichman, A., Gunnarsson, S. et al.

Abstract

In this experiment, we studied individual differences in start of perching behaviour and if environmental enrichment enhances perching at an early age. there seems to be an association between the early start of perch use and the later use of perches for the real night-time roosting.
