Behavioural and physiological thermoregulation were studied in Chersina angulata, Homopus areolatus and Geochelone pardalis. Results on behavioural thermoregulation (response to thermal gradient) suggest it to be of greatest significance in H. areola

Ruppell's Parrot, Poicephalus rueppellii, inhabits a markedly seasonal environment in Namibia and feed on plant seeds that respond to that seasonality. Although Ruppell's Parrots were seen feeding at 37 plant species they showed clear preferences. Th

The effect of bill structure on seed preference and handling time in granivorous birds was determined for a long, slender dove bill, a conical finch bill, and a hooked parrot bill using diamond doves (Geopelia cuneata), Java sparrows (Padda oryzivora
