F As well as the studies on nates by Setchell, another study demonstrates:ffect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientista put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches. Zebra finches already have bright red beaks, so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds brightly coloured beaks n indicators of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, says that females of many species choose to mate with the flashiest males. Now, Blount and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby.a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.
G.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in thair events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that that is the implication of their findings is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?
