Preferred Partner: Bird 51

Bird 53 is a sweet bird and usually fairly gentle and tolerant. (Again, sorry for the blurriness.) She has been around for quite a while and seen her fair share of master's theses and PSYC 4725 students.

She tended to be a loner for some time after the birds were released within the home cage room. For a time she and Bird 20 were spending a lot of time together. Bird 20 now has a strong preference for Isis (Bird 25). And Bird 53 has a stronger preference for Bird 51 after they spent time together in Dr. Hesse's son's science class. Some of the birds are "loners" because, I believe, there are more females than males - a common occurrence in psychology!
