Summary:
A ‘climate of fear’ indirect response by nesting blackbirds to the brief presence of a model cat (light grey bar) near a nest, relative to that of a model of another potential predator (grey squirrel: dark grey bar) and a model of a comparably sized non-predatory mammal (rabbit: mid-grey bar). A single model (either cat, squirrel or rabbit) was placed 2 m from an active nest and left there for 15 minutes, then removed. Observers recorded the number of visits of adult blackbirds to feed their young over a 45–60-minute period after model removal, and found that parent birds subsequently made significantly fewer visits to their nest if they had seen a cat nearby relative to the two other model mammals. (Modified from Bonnington et al. 2013).
