Standardized approach to measure the distance at which birds flee when approached by humans at a steady pace. Involves recording starting distance, approaching at 0.5 m/s, and measuring the distance when the bird initiates escape behavior.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.
