Project
Show me your colour, I will tell you your quality
While body colour can provide important information about animal health, relatively little is known about the relationships between female colour, egg colour and health status. We propose to investigate the relationship between the colour of the body parts of female birds and their individual quality, and between the colour of eggs and their composition. We aim to use colour measurement as a non-invasive method to access bird and egg qualities.
