Australian magpies exhibit increased tolerance of aircraft noise on an airport, and are more responsive to take-off than to landing noises

摘要

Context On airports, birds often exhibit escape behaviour in response to aircraft. Avian escape behaviours can enable birds to effectively avoid collisions with aircraft, although some are maladaptive and may increase the risk of collision (e.g. erratic flying). Habituation and habituation-like processes among birds potentially mediate the likelihood of aircraft-bird collisions. Moreover, because managers exploit avian escape behaviour to reduce bird-aircraft collision risks, habituation may decrease the efficiency of bird-hazard management.
