摘要
Squabbles and squawks are a common feature of avian family life, so it is no wonder that birds are model species for the study of parent-offspring conflict. But how much do these behaviours really tell us about the evolutionary conflicts of interest between parents and their young? Here, we provide a brief review that is aimed primarily at ornithologists not already familiar with this area of research.
