Imprinting is most likely to occur during a critical period shortly after birth or hatching when young animals are particularly sensitive to environmental stimuli. This period varies by species; for example, in birds, it often happens within the first few days of life. During this time, they form strong attachments to the first moving object they encounter, usually a parent. This process is crucial for their survival and social development.
