Female pigeons, Columba livia, respond to multisensory audio/video playbacks of male courtship behaviour
Article Abstract:
Audio and video playback methods were used to test the significance of multisensory signals in male and female pigeons. The results suggest that the combination of audio and visual components of male courtship enhance the efficacy of the display.
