| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Budgerigars use visual and auditory inputs dominantly in their communication as well as humans. Thus, I investigated a possibility that communication via audio-visual devices can be established also in the avian species, like humans do. Budgerigars were sensitively reacted to stimuli of other birds presented on audio-visual devices. Some birds often showed a kind of behavioral contagion. However, comparing those behaviors with behaviors appeared in response to recorded audio-visual stimuli, the difference was limited, suggesting this kind of novel communication methods via audio-visual devices in real-time in small animals, such as budgerigars, was less effective than that in humans, especially in exchange of information between communication parties.
