Bird Wallpaper Biography
Status signals may allow associations to form between dominant and subordinate individuals so that both may benefit, as Rohwer and his colleague, Paul Ewald, have suggested. Subordinates, for instance, may learn what foods are most nutritious, while dominants may be able to place subordinates between themselves and potential predators.
Badges also exist in White-crowned Sparrows, as Gary Fugle and his coworkers at the University of California have demonstrated. Adult males, which have bright black and white striping on the head, have the highest dominance status, juvenile females with dull striping the lowest, and adult females with intermediate striping intermediate status. Experiments in which the heads of juvenile and adult females were painted to resemble adult males revealed that brighter striping added to the status of the painted birds relative to unpainted controls. Similarly, experiments with stuffed birds (mounts) indicate that a male Yellow Warbler signals his status, in particular his level of aggressive motivation, by the amount of brown streaking on his breast. Brighter (more streaked) mounts, elicited more aggressive responses from males than duller mounts, while brighter males responded more aggressively to mounts than did duller males
