Breland have learned a lot about responses of animals since they started in Minnesota in 1947 with "eight chickens and a prayer." NOW MR. BRELAND says in all seriousness, "I wouldn't hesitate to sign a contract today to produce a thousand white rats to play tiddly winks." That would considerably swell the animal population, which hovers around 300. Currently in residence or alumni are otters, wildcats, foxes, ground hogs, hamsters, goats, sheep, peacocks, swans, cats and dogs. There Is also, says Mr. Breland, an "Indefinite number of cockroaches." But they're townles not students.

Tiddly winking mice or "My Country Tis of Thee" playing seals, the teaching technique is the same. "The essence of the method consists of first conditioning the animal to approach the feeder when the feeder sounds and drops a little food. After this, one simply waits until the desired behavior occurs and then sounds the feeder. "The animal soon learns to associate the proper behavior with the sound of the feeder," says Mr. Mr.

Breland says, "Most animals learn 1 1 responses at about the same speed. "BUT LEARNING time may vary anywhere from 15 minutes to 15 weeks, depending on the complexity of the response."

Once they learn the feeder signal, that's all they want to think about and are reluctant to repeat an act.

"The application of animal says Mr. Breland, "has created a real revolution in man's relation to animals, particularly In the field of animal training. "Animals which could not be trained with the traditional methods can now be trained easily. The more usual animals can be trained in highly unusual behavior. BY GENE HARRINGTON HOT SPRINGS, April 23 dv-lf you were giving out grades for rapid learning, which would come first, the chlckeit or the chimp? Surprise.

The chicken. That's the word from "Keller Breland who, with his has trained more than 6500 animals of 23 different species to play the piano, basketball, shoot cannon, dial phones and neck. The graduate psychologist explains that the comparative advantage of chickens Is on simple responses. The chimps are still champs when It comes to mastering the complex patterns such as those required on space rides. Breland-trained perform-lng- animals have fascinated millions from coast to coast.
