History
Frank W. Bailey was a biological collector and researcher affiliated with the University of Manitoba in the 1920s. He made important contributions to the study of bird behaviour and colour perception, collaborating with C. F. Curtis Riley on early experimental research. Their best-known publication, the 1931 paper "Colour vision and the formation of associations with reference to light of various wavelengths in the parakeet, Melopsittacus undulatus (Shaw)," was a pioneering investigation into avian colour vision and learning.
