Video playback is becoming a common method for manipulating social stimuli in
experiments. Parid tits are one of the most commonly studied groups of wild birds.
However, it is not yet clear if tits respond to video playback or how their behavioural
responses should be measured. Behaviours may also differ depending on what they
observe demonstrators encountering. Here we present blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)
videos of demonstrators discovering palatable or aversive prey (injected with bittertasting
Bitrex) from coloured feeding cups. First we quantify variation in demonstrators’
responses to the prey items: aversive prey provoked high rates of beak wiping and
head shaking. We then show that focal blue tits respond differently to the presence
of a demonstrator on a video screen, depending on whether demonstrators discover
palatable or aversive prey. Focal birds faced the video screen more during aversive
prey presentations, and made more head turns. Regardless of prey type, focal birds
also hopped more frequently during the presence of a demonstrator (compared to a
control video of a different coloured feeding cup in an empty cage). Finally, we tested
if demonstrators’ behaviour affected focal birds’ food preferences by giving individuals
a choice to forage from the same cup as a demonstrator, or from the cup in the control
video. We found that only half of the individuals made their choice in accordance to
social information in the videos, i.e., their foraging choices were not different from
random. Individuals that chose in accordance with a demonstrator, however, made
their choice faster than individuals that chose an alternative cup. Together, our results
suggest that video playback can provide social cues to blue tits, but individuals vary
greatly in how they use this information in their foraging decisions.
