Note. The preferred sequence is listed by the arbitrary numbers designated a priori by the experimenter where “1–2” indicates the bird visiting Flower 1 followed by Flower 2. The number of times that exact sequence was repeated is in the brackets next to the sequence. The asterisk indicates the non-significant result (p > .05) and 0.00 indicates p < .01 calculated by binomial tests.
