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
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, Bob Forsyth Mount Isa, NW Qld.
