雄斑胸草雀和雌斑胸草雀会受到异性同类戴的塑料腿带颜色的影响。他们发现某些颜色比自然无条纹的情况更有吸引力，而另一些则不那么有吸引力。雌性更喜欢红色条纹的雄性，而不是没有条纹的雄性，并避免浅蓝色和浅绿色条纹的雄性。男性更喜欢黑色和粉色带的女性，避免戴浅蓝色或浅绿色带的女性。这些发现可能有助于研究一夫一妻制物种的配偶选择；他们还对一项广泛使用的实验技术提出了重要的问题。
Male and female zebra finches are affected by the color of plastic leg bands worn by opposite-sex conspecifics. They find certain colors more attractive, and others less attractive, than the natural unbanded condition. Females prefer red-banded males over unbanded ones, and avoid light-blue and light-green banded males. Males prefer black and pink banded females and avoid those wearing light-blue or light-green bands.These findings may be useful in the study of mate choice in monogamous species; they also raise important questions about a widely used experimental technique.
