R.M.K. was supported by a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) studentship, then a Junior Research Fellowship at Magdalene College Cambridge, a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellowship (sponsored by the Wolfson Foundation), and finally a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. The experiments were funded by three NERC grants (GR9/02650, GR9/04621, and NER/A/S/2002/00776), which also supported C.A.H., and a Royal Society Equipment Grant. Additional funding for C.A.H. was provided by the Isaac Newton Trust, Cambridge, and a Junior Research Fellowship at Newnham College, Cambridge. We thank L. Barden, N. Bates, C. Donovan, P. Heavens, P. Hynes, I. Millar, J. Nightingale, and S. Shelton for their help in maintaining the birds and constructing equipment; T. Roberts, M. Wade, and J. Theaker for supplying the birds; and N. Davies, M. Clinchy, L. Zanette, and especially M. Kölliker for comments on early drafts of the manuscript. R.M.K. conceived and designed the experiments, collected data, and wrote the paper. C.A.H. analyzed data and co-wrote the paper. R.A.J. contributed the theoretical analysis and co-wrote the paper.
