How behaviors were recorded by the study. Count = behaviors per time period; Time budget = time spent doing behavior divided by total time spent on a substrate; Percent = total time spent doing a behavior divided by substrate.
Other substrates include: straw, feathers, recycled paper, rice hulls, and wheat bran.
Foraging = (percent of pecking + percent of scratching) ÷ 2.
Scratching was not reported without pecking. Therefore, it was combined to make foraging, and is not analyzed alone.
