Assimilation efficiency of the Red-winged Starling Onychognathus morio fed Strelitzia nicolai arils

There is a paucity of studies investigating the digestive efficiencies of avian frugivores fed fibrous (also referred to as woolly) aril pulp. We fed whole Strelitzia nicolai seeds with arils to captive Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio) to determine daily food and energy intake, digestive t...
