Two related species of African lovebirds exhibit very different ways of carrying nesting materials back to the nest. The Fisher’s lovebird carries nesting material back using its beak, while the peach faced lovebird tucks nesting material in the feathers of its rump. The observation that hybrid lovebirds exhibit intermediate behaviours suggests that nest building behaviour in lovebirds is due to:
Select one:
a. gene by environment interaction.
b. environmental factors.
c. genetic factors.
d. imprinting.

be promiscuous.
b.
have lower parental investment.
