Abstract:
1. Time budget analysis of the typical behaviours of young ostrich chicks showed that chicks spent over 50% of their time foraging and walking. 2. Food presented in bowls was largely ignored whereas food scattered on the floor was readily taken. 3. A colour preference test showed that green was the preferred colour.
