Cache and carry: The feeding and social behaviour of honeyguides

Leave a comment

If you have a bird-feeding site in your suburban or rural garden and live in a region where
honeyguides occur, the pleasure you derive from your efforts can be greatly enhanced if you
can secure a source of beeswax. With an uncanny ability to track down the presence of beeswax
or honeycomb, a honeyguide will become a regular visitor to the garden, even if only an
intermittent supply of this unusual food source is provided.
