Factors affecting flight initiation distance in American robins
Article Abstract:
The responses of American robins to approaching humans is investigated with the help of 2 attributes of an approaching human that might influence an animal's assessment of risk, by examining flight initiation distance and the distance at which they become alert. Greatest flight initiation distance is reported when the approaching person was not on paths and was looking at them, while the lowest flight initiation distance was observed when the person was on a path and not looking at the robins, indicating that they use gaze direction to assess risk.
