  • 摘要:Folivory is a poorly documented behavior in birds. In this paper we describe in detail folivory in Saltator maximus and report for the first time this habit in Elanus leucurus. Similar to their congenerics, folivory in S. maximus could be related to an omnivorous and opportunistic diet, the temporal variation of the most consumed resources and a reduced activity during periods of leaf consumption. In the case of E. leucurus, this is the first report of such behavior on a raptor. While it is not clear its origin, folivory may be, as in other birds, a strategy to counter harmful secondary compounds present in other food sources due to their nutraceutical properties. These records show that the diet of many bird species is far from completely known, highlighting the importance of reporting this information
