“…369 In a second study, male and female zebra finches were allowed to pair bond for 2 weeks, and progesterone was administered on the third week. Progesterone facilitated pair bonding behaviors in females who had previously never been paired, however, there was no impact on sexual behaviors or behaviors related to parenting.…”

“…Thereafter, the length of observations varied between studies, from 3 days total to 30 days. Pairing status was assessed using an association index, in which a subject was considered paired if more than 50 % ofthe subject's pairing behaviors were with one partner relative to other opposite-sex animals (Mabry,Streatfeild,Keane, & Solomon,2011;Pedersen & Tomaszycki, 2012;Smiley, Vahaba, & Tomaszycki, 2012). Only animals that maintained the same partner throughout the duration of the study were included in the analyses.…”

“…Beginning on the first day an aviary was set up, courtship and pairing behavior was observed and recorded for 1hr/day for 10 consecutive days to determine breeding pairs and nest box occupancy (see Smiley et al, 2012 andVahaba et al, 2013 for methods). Pair bonds form quickly (typically 1-3 days; Zann, 1996) and allowing zebra finches to choose a partner and a nest box tends to yield greater reproductive success (Smiley et al, 2012). Each aviary had an assigned observation period, which took place between 0830 and 1100, such that multiple rooms could be observed on the same day.…”
