Abstract
Summary An experiment has been presented using pigeons as subjects in which early experience with parent colour (black-white) was varied systematically. Parent colour has been shown to influence later mate choice by males but not by females. Alternative explanations offered were: Mate choice in pigeons is predominately a male-dominate process, mate choice in female pigeons may not be a function of early experience, or mate choice in female pigeons may be based on early experience with parental characteristics other than colour.
