Speaking of Lorenz and feeding behaviors, recall the story of Lorenz and the Raven: http://personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/humor/Lorenz.htm

Seems like a classic case of one-trial learning.Please note that Lorenz demonstrated imprinting when he was followed by a line of ducklings who imprinted on his feeding behavior.Btw,was it geese that followed that Austrian or German dude? or ducks?
