  2. Imprinting (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinting_(psychology)

    The filial imprinting of birds was a primary technique used to create the movie Winged Migration (Le Peuple Migrateur), which contains a great deal of footage of migratory birds in flight. The birds imprinted on handlers, who wore yellow jackets and honked horns constantly.

  3. Puppet-rearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet-rearing

    Puppet-rearing is a method of breeding birds in captivity for reintroduction into the wild. Chicks are fed using puppets that simulate adults of their species, worn by caregivers whose bodies are hidden from view, thereby reducing the birds' direct contact with humans. [1] [2] [3] Through imprinting, birds associate the first care images with ...

  4. Genomic imprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_imprinting

    Partial imprinting occurs when alleles from both parents are differently expressed rather than complete expression and complete suppression of one parent's allele. [6] Forms of genomic imprinting have been demonstrated in fungi, plants and animals. [7] [8] In 2014, there were about 150 imprinted genes known in mice and about half that in humans ...

  5. Konrad Lorenz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Lorenz

    This principle had been discovered by Douglas Spalding in the 19th century, and Lorenz's mentor Oskar Heinroth had also worked on the topic, but Lorenz's description of Prägung, imprinting, in nidifugous birds such as greylag geese in his 1935 book Der Kumpan in der Umwelt des Vogels ("The Companion in the Environment of Birds") became the ...

  6. Wildlife rehabilitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitation

    Preventing imprinting and habituation is important in the rehabilitation process. Imprinting occurs when a young animal, specifically young birds, begin to see the rehabilitator as their primary caregiver. [1] It is possible to reverse this process in most animals, but it is permanent with birds.

  7. Purple martin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_martin

    Through years of generational imprinting and nesting the eastern species has made a complete transition from nesting in the wild to relying on human-provided nesting sites. Initially difficult to get a colony started, once established, the colony will persist as long as nesting sites are available.

  8. Natal homing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natal_homing

    The geomagnetic imprinting hypothesis holds that they are imprinted with the unique magnetic field that exists in their natal area. This is a plausible theory but has not been proven to occur. Pacific salmon are known to be imprinted on the water chemistry of their home river, a fact that has been confirmed experimentally.
