When the morning sun clears the Amazon tree line in southeastern Peru and strikes a gray-pink clay bank on the upper Tambopata River, one of the world's most dazzling wildlife spectacles is nearing its riotous peak -- Franz Lanting, Macaws: Winged Rainbows, National Geographic, January, 1994Tambopata National Reserve. A 3.7 million acre reserve in the southeastern Peruvian Amazon and the gateway to one of the world's most remote and extraordinary Amazon rainforest environments, is home to over 1300 species of birds, including 32 kinds of parrots. One of the most fascinating phenomena here is the daily flocking of birds, especially parrots and macaws, to clay licks.

Why should hundreds of birds eat soil from these special sites? The birds, especially the parrots, have a curious habit - they dexterously pluck fruit off trees, tear it open, discard the fruit and eat the hard seeds at the center. By eating the seeds from hundreds of plants, they are exposing themselves to highly...more
