Abstract
Lay Summary Organisms could treat sudden changes to their environment (novelty) either similarly or uniquely depending on context. We tested this idea in foraging house sparrows. Sparrows responded to several forms of novelty. Individuality existed in the speed to come to the food source and in initial responsiveness to a novel object, but not in the adjustment to objects as they became familiar or novel cues of food. Sparrows are highly flexible, which may explain their ability to coexist with humans.
