This study showed that urban European birds let men get closer to them than women.
The researchers didn't supply a hypothesis to explain this. However I have a theory: I think that birds have an instinct that the smaller the terrestrial predator the more dangerous, because they can move faster. For example a weasel can move faster than
a cat, a cat faster than a fox, a fox faster than a human. And women are typically smaller than men.
Any other ideas?
