Question

2. What would happen if a condor chick were to imprint on humans?

A. It might escape from captivity.
B. It might attack humans.
C. It might reject food given to it by humans.
D. It might lose its natural fear of humans.

Answer 1

Imprinting on humans does not mean that birds will be “friendly” toward humans, nor does it mean they necessarily enjoy being near humans. Human-imprinted birds have no fear of people, and this lack of fear can sometimes lead to aggression toward humans.
