# Margaret Morse Nice

Margaret Morse Nice (Amherst, Massachusetts, 6 de dezembro de 1883 - Chicago, Illinois, 26 de junho de 1974) foi uma ornitóloga, etóloga e psicóloga infantil norte-americana que fez um extenso estudo sobre a história de vida do pardal-canção e foi autora de Studies in the Life History of the Song Sparrow (1937). Ela observou e registrou hierarquias em frangos cerca de três décadas à frente de Thorleif Schjelderup-Ebbe que cunhou o termo "pecking order". Após seu casamento, ela fez observações sobre o aprendizado de idiomas em seus filhos e escreveu vários trabalhos de pesquisa.
