This phenomenon is known as habituation. It occurs when an animal gradually stops responding to a particular stimulus that is presented repeatedly without any other stimulus. This could be a natural response to a harmless stimulus or something learned through experimentation. The process of habituation allows animals to conserve energy and focus their attention on more important environmental stimuli.
