So in this figure, which i've recreated here, with this little birdie who is just happy, pecking, eating some food, here's some grass.
00:13
And we have this other one.
00:19
This other birdie over here who is pecking that bird.
00:23
Well, this is kind of what you think is called the pecking order, right? which is an example of a dominant hierarchy.
00:32
So as opposed to, let's say, agonistic behaviors, this is about where their placing is in their social system.
00:45
With agonism, you're basically agonistic behaviors here just being aggressive.
00:54
It's not really for like a further purpose, but with dominant hierarchies, there is a purpose, and that is to establish your point within the social structure.
01:08
Pecking order is a thing in even humans.
01:12
Think about, like, on playgrounds, how children act, like, who's the toughest, who can do the most, whatever.
01:20
And sometimes this is violent.
01:21
It's not always violent, but here's an example of where it's violent.
01:25
Is mr.
01:26
Chicken beating the crap out of the other chicken, as you see.
01:30
He's just happy trying to eat his grass...
