Forms of protective behavior of synanthropic birds in response to the biorepellent effect

Abstract

The purpose of this scientific and practical research is to increase efficiency of the use of biorepellent (birds of prey) while ensuring the ornithological safety of facilities for the municipal solid waste recycling and disposal. Various forms of gregarious protective behavior of synanthropic birds (Corvidae, Laridae) are considered. A new form of protective behavior has been revealed in the Corvidae family.
