Ejections (a) of non-mimetic blue egg models were more common in flushed female blackbirds than those that were not flushed, but this was not the case for female song thrush. Latency to ejection (mean ± SE; b) was shorter in flushed blackbirds than blackbirds that were not flushed, while non-significantly longer in flushed than non-flushed song thrush.
