Abstract
Different explanations have been proposed for the existence of colonial breeding behavior in birds, but field studies offer no conclusive results. We analyze the interplay between learning habits and predation pressure by means of numerical simulations. Our analysis suggests that extremely simple learning processes and equally simplistic models of predation pressure lead to the formation of stable colonies.
