Abstract: Great tits (Parus major) and blue tits (Parus caeruleus) were tested, whether they can recognize different forms of sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) as a predator. Responses to stuffed sparrowhawk, wooden dummy and a photograph of sparrowhawk projected on plasma TV were tested. Tits treated both stuffed and wooden sparrowhawk almost equally. Reactions to photograph on TV did not differ significantly from control. Wooden dummies of adequate design seem to be suitable for use in experiments with birds. On contrary, photograph did not elicit appropriate response and it cannot be used at least with untrained birds.
