La manière de voir des Treron (au moins T.calva) est de visiter ces ouvertures dans les forêts. Il faudrait au moins quatre jours pour y arriver à partir de Kindu (capitale de la province de Maniema). Griffond,

Correction made. A study of the distribution, history and use of these "edos" or "baies", or whatever these mineral openings are called, would be fascinating, but not easy to do. When we did the okapi study in the Ituri in the early 1980s we came upon an opening that was growing over, and only had a collection of old elephant bones and de-tusked skulls. On the otherhand I would imagine some are very ancient. If a good enough number of these openings undisturbed by humans could be found, it would be interesting to compare visitation between sites: What animals come compared with what animals are in the surrounding forests.

Down here in South Africa, Green Pigeon and Rameron (Olive) Pigeon also visit salt and mineral deposits. You guys should write a short note for Malimbus or perhaps African J. Ecology. There is still a paucity of papers/info on geophagy in African pigeons. And, of course, the conservation implications. [Tiny correction: "Treron calvus" not "Truron calvus".] Greg.
