The BPM Programme is part of our lives the global Wild Bird Index effort, which uses information on birds to assess the overall condition of ecosystems and the environment on which we all depend. These trends will be used to set Africa is rich in its variety of conservation priorities, report on biodiversity changes (including the response of fauna and flora to living things, together referred climate change), as well as serve as useful inputs to State Of the Environment Reports and national to as biodiversity. Biodiversity reports to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). is fundamental to human wellbeing: it offers multiple Currently there are over 350 volunteers supporting the programme who regularly monitor 241 transects spread throughout the country. My Government has been particularly supportive of the BPM opportunities for development Programme because it, among other things, bolsters the participation of rural communities in natural and improving livelihoods. resources management. Additionally, analysis of bird data will influence environmental policies and It is the basis for essential their implementation (e.g. game bird hunting quotas, and the control of the Red-billed Quelea), environmental services upon land-use planning and tourism development.

  • Nectar Distribution and Nectarivorous Bird Foraging Behaviour at Different Spatial Scales
    Nectar distribution and nectarivorous bird foraging behaviour at different spatial scales by Anina Coetzee Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science, at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Anton Pauw Co-supervisor: Dr. Phoebe Barnard March 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract While foraging strategies of animals may be shaped by the distribution of their food resources, these strategies in turn also affect the ecology and evolution of their resources. In this regard, African systems, of all the different bird-pollination systems worldwide, have been least studied. I investigated the relationships between these aspects at population, community and landscape levels in the bird-pollination systems of the Cape Floristic Region. This biodiversity hotspot in the southwest of South Africa contains an unusually high number of bird-pollinated plant species relative to the number of pollinating bird species. Chapter 2 describes how I experimentally tested which nectar resource traits affect sunbird foraging behaviour at the small scale within populations. Sunbirds’ behaviour was largely determined by visual signals and distances between nectar resources. The birds showed flower colour preferences, but no flower constancy (selective foraging only on one flower type).

  • Ecology and Conservation Biology of the Cape Parrot Poicephalus Robustus in Afromontane Forests of South Africa
    Perrin, M. 2014. BOU Proceedings – Ecology and conservation of birds in upland and alpine habitats http://www.bou.org.uk/bouproc-net/uplands/poster-perrin.pdf Proceedings of the BOU’s 2014 Annual Conference Ecology and conservation of birds in upland and alpine habitats View other papers from these proceedings at www.BOUPROC.net. POSTER Ecology and conservation biology of the Cape Parrot Poicephalus robustus in afromontane forests of South Africa MIKE PERRIN Research Centre for African Parrot Conservation, School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X01, Scottsville, 3201, KZ, South Africa Email: [email protected] The taxonomic status of the Cape Parrot Poicephalus robustus has been questioned (Clancey 1997, Wirminghaus et al. 2002b, Perrin 2005) although its conservation status is not in dispute (Wirminghaus et al. 1999). According to the provisions of the International Committee on Zoological Nomenclature it is a good species (Perrin 2005) distinct from the Brown-necked Parrot P. fuscicollis fuscicollis and the Grey-headed Parrot P. f. suahelicus. In the wild there are approximately 1500 individuals globally (Fig. 1) but this does not mean 750 breeding pairs because some birds are pre- or post-breeding age, the sex ratio is skewed towards males and not all pairs are compatible for breeding. The Cape Parrot is listed as internationally as CITES II species because (a) BirdLife International and hence the IUCN and does not accept the species status of the bird, and (b) it is not threatened by proven illegal trade. However, in South Africa, it is Critically Endangered according to TOPS legislation, and in the KwaZulu-Natal province (its stronghold), it is ‘Specially Protected’.
