Species—Corvid, Behavior—Foraging (consider as a suite).

Context Break down behavior into various contexts or components	Adaptations List adaptations that allow the animal to execute behavior according to context/component.	Outcomes Measurable outcomes you would expect to see if successful at eliciting the behavior within the context.	Inputs A layered approach to what can be implemented guided by the previous categories.
Terminal branches	Visual acuity, physical strength, alertness (anti-predator), spatial awareness, temporal awareness, beak, balance, taste, wings, strong legs	Suspensory feeding, appropriate response to displacement (threat), increased competition when clumped, decreased latency to find suitable resources, avoidance of unsuitable resources, removal of obstacles, increased waste distribution, increased exploration, increased habitat use, consistent response to environmental cues, increased foraging efficiency, good feather/body condition, improved problem solving skills.	Resources only provisioned on terminal branches with varying degrees of difficulty. Seasonal variation in distribution (abundance, clumped, dispersed). Variation in developmental stage of resources depending on environmental condition (following rain, thaw heatwave). Signaled following an abundance of pollinators or other arthropods specific to each resource item. Sent or visual cue unique to each type of resource item, preceding provisioning in a reliable manner.
