Prenatal acoustic stimulation and feeding behavior of Japanese quail chicks <i>{coturnix coturnix japonica)</i>
Effects of a prenatal rhythmic tone on behavior of Japanese quail chicks were studied on the next days after hatchling. The acoustically stimulated chicks demonstrated a significantly more frequent following response, feeding reaction and comfortable behavior when hearing the tone as compared with their con-trols. Bandwidths stimulating this or another behavior were determined.
