different cues either The illustration above depicts a male redwing blackbird responding to two alone or in combination. As you can see, males demonstrate aggression only when both the red patch and the territorial call are produced by the decoy model. If the decoy model was actually another male redwing blackbird, what behavior would it be engaged in (be as detailed/specific possible) Again, the question is asking what behavior the decoy model would be engaged in if it was a living bird. as

Animal Behavior

Animal behavior can be defined as all the things that animals do. In response to a stimulus, an animal performs a certain fixed action pattern, or FAP, of behavior. This response occurs to make the animal more adaptable to change. So, behavior is generally a stimulus-oriented response. A behavior is an expression of the capabilities of the nervous system. A stimulus is determined by the environment, while the nervous system determines a response.
