Problem 16

Animal behaviorists observed that one species of lovebird carries nest building materials in its beak. Another species of lovebird carries the material under its feathers. Hybrid offspring are produced by breeding these two species. The hybrids repeatedly shift the material between their beaks and their feathers while carrying it. What conclusion can be drawn about the influence of genetics on behavior from the results of this experiment?
