Hawks select odd prey.

H C Mueller.   

Abstract

Hawks were offered one color of mouse for ten consecutive captures and then a choice between that and another color. The birds usually selected the odd, or unusual, color. This behavior is probably adaptive because odd prey in nature would be unfit.
