Abstract
Chickens restrained in the presence of a stuffed hawk remained immobile appreciably longer than controls. The extent to which the hawk influenced susceptibility to immobility also varied as a function of the distance between predator and prey. By systematically manipulating the facial characteristics of the hawk in a second and subsequent experiment, its eyes were identified as being the most significant by way of potentiating the tonic immobility reaction.
