Abstract
Dean, W. R. J. 1979. Population, diet and the annual cycle of the Laughing Dove at Barberspan, Part 2: Diet. Ostrich 50:215-219. Laughing Doves Streptopelia senegalensis were collected each month from July 1976 to to June 1977. The diet was found to be mainly seeds of commercial crops (sunflower and make) during most of the year. One species of grass, Eleusine indica, occurred in 100% of stomachs, but often was present only in small amounts. Ovulating females took significantly more animal matter than non-ovulating females.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
