Abstract
⺠We tested whether starlings react to low-frequency (LF) flicker lighting. ⺠Under LF lighting, birds increased muscle spasms and preening. ⺠Under LF lighting birds reduced jumping, eating, drinking & bill wiping. ⺠Birds experienced lower basal corticosterone levels under LF flicker light. ⺠Our results demonstrate that starlings are sensitive to LF light.
