Abstract:Abstract. This experiment was designed to quantify the motivation to show socially facilitated behaviour, by equating the increase in feeding behaviour shown by a subject chicken,Gallus gallus domesticus, in response to the sight and sound of another bird feeding, with the feeding behaviour shown by the same subject chicken following food deprivation periods of either 15, 30, 60 or 120
