Abstract

21 of 25 experienced female ring doves laid eggs when visually isolated except for their own reflection in a mirror, provided that they were also exposed to the sound of a breeding colony of doves. None of 12 females exposed to the sound of the breeding colony, but unable to see either another live dove or their mirror image, laid; 2 of 10 females exposed to their own mirror image but unable to hear other doves laid.
