Lateral Asymmetry of Brain and Behaviour in the Zebra Finch, <i>Taeniopygia guttata</i>

Lateralisation of eye use indicates differential specialisation of the brain hemispheres. We tested eye use by zebra finches to view a model predator, a monitor lizard, and compared this to eye use to view a non-threatening visual stimulus, a jar. We used a modified method of scoring eye preference...
