A duck egg is removed from its mother’s nest and incubated by a barnyard hen. The duckling hatches out in the presence of the barnyard hen and stays in her nest. After a couple of days, the duckling is presented with a choice between its biological mother and the hen that incubated it. The duckling approaches and follows the hen. This set of observations demonstrates the phenomenon of
