Bird Dictionary

["Bob Forsyth" <>]

g'day All,

 

I received a direct email asking what I meant by "Anting"

 

A handy (but very brief) source of info for such queries is the

"Bird Watcher's Dictionary" by Peter Weaver. (ISBN 0-85661-028-3 )

 

It can be accessed by going to the "Birding On Bird Dictionary"  Web page at

http://birdcare.com/birdon/birdindex/birdindex.html

 

then

-- Click the Dictionary hyperlink

-- Click the letter "A"

-- Scroll down to Anting and click again

 

For more info,

-- click dusting

-- smoke bathing

-- ectoparasite

 

Another source is A (Alec).H. Chisholm's "Bird Wonders of Australia"

My 2nd-hand paper cover 1965 6th edition cost $6.00 and is a great read and reread.

 

Regards,
