…Birds showed a preference for the familiar food item over each of the 3 novel food types tested, as the sunflower seed was the first food item contacted in 85.2% (379/445) of trials (almond: 115/159 χ² = 109.03, df = 1, P < 0.001; egg: 140/154 χ² = 230.11, df = 1, P < 0.001; rice: 124/132 χ² = 218.53, df = 1, P < 0.001). The average latency to contact a novel food item was 5.073 ± 0.267 SE minutes (almond: 3.581 +/− 0.362 SE minutes; egg: 5.649 ± 0.482 SE minutes; rice: 6.171 ± 0.519 SE minutes).
