Syd,
Thanks for your reply and kind offer.
I do have a copy of Landsborough Thompson
(1964) and
have read his
"Feather Maintenance" article.
Campbell and Lack's "A Dictionary of
Birds"(Poyser/1985)
has similiar articles headed "Anting" and another "Comfort
Behaviour"
The "Anting" article states Between 200 and 250
species of
passerine birds......have been recorded using
ants....
But what I was specifically seeking was a list
of Birds that
have been observed anting (in
Australia)
I wonder if anyone has compiled such a list
?
Regards...Bob
Forsyth
