1. stimuli externi (releasers)

Female goose behavior of picking eggs up.

When it sees an egg outside the nest (key stimulus), it begins a repeated movement of dragging the egg with its beak and neck. However, if the eggs slides off or if it is removed by the researcher, the goose continues to repeat the stereotypic movements even if the egg is absent, until it reaches the nest, when then it does it all over again. FAP seems to correspond to a fixed neural circuitry elicited by the overall trigger stimuli. Taken from Etologia - Introducin Al Estudio Comparado del Comportamiento I.
