From the Paper:

"Birds communicate with each other and with the world around them mainly through hearing and vision. Because of this, birds' sight and hearing are their most important "and most sensitive" senses. Birds' sense of smell and taste are poorly developed in comparison to humans. This experiment is designed to examine the ways in which birds see colors and how this is useful to their survival."
