Associated with Albert Bandura's work in the 1960s, social learning theory explains how people learn new behaviors, values, and attitudes.For example, a teenager might learn slang by observing peers.Social learning requires attention to the person(s) observed, remembering the observed behavior, the ability to replicate the behavior, and a motivation to act the same way.or example, a teenager might learn slang by observing peers.

If you have grackles in your yard raiding your feeders and driving away the birds that you want to feed, here are a few tips: 1  Don't feed bread or other food scraps. 2  Grackles will take advantage of almost any food source available.3  Food scraps will attract other rodents into your yard as well. Food scraps will attract other rodents into your yard as well. 2  Use suet feeders that require birds to cling upside-down to eat. 3  Birds Choice has numerous upside-down suet feeders that are grackle-resistant. 4  Woodpeckers and nuthatches will have no problem using them.
Generally, bully birds prefer bread, corn, millet, wheat and sunflower seeds. To get rid of them, supply food they wonât eat. To feed finches, fill hanging tube feeders with only nyjer seed (thistle). For cardinals, chickadees and nuthatches, provide safflower seed in hopper or tray feeders.If you do this, grackles, crows and blackbirds generally will look elsewhere for the foods they like.ecause virtually all bully birds are larger than more desirable birds, you can adapt your feeders to accommodate only smaller species. Try enclosing the feeders with large-mesh hardware cloth or chicken wire with openings big enough to allow smaller birds to pass through (a 2-inch opening should do).
