anting

When we say a bird is anting, we mean that it is on the ground or on a twig with one or both wings half-spread and with its tail drawn under the body. In this unusual attitude it can be seen picking up ants with its bill and rubbing its head among the undersides of the wings and – or – into the base of the tail.

1955, Holger Poulsen, “Experiments on Anting by Birds”, in Adolf Portmann, Ernst Sutter, editors, Acta Congressus internationalis ornithologici [Experientia: Supplementum; 3], Basel: Birkhäuser, →OCLC, page 608:

When anting the Jay does not pick up ants in the bill although it makes the same movements of the head as species which do. The wings are (at high intensity) spread quite widely and thrust forward like a canopy in front of the anting bird. Usually both wings are thrust forward together. I have seen a great number of both wild and captive Jays anting […]

1986, Derek Goodwin, Crows of the World, 2nd edition, London: British Museum (Natural History), →ISBN, page 199:

Blue jays are not just smart, they're also quirky. They are frequently given as exemplars of a bird behavior known as "anting," in which the bird lies down on an anthill with wings and tail spread and entices ants to swarm over it. Anting birds often grasp an ant in their beak, crush it, and wipe it under their wings, and over and through their feathers, and then sometimes eat them. […] The purpose of anting is still debated. It has been hypothesized that the formic acid in ants, when applied to the feathers, helps to control feather lice and other parasites, but the experimental evidence about this is mixed. It has also been suggested that birds are simply wiping the acid off so that the ants will taste better when they subsequently eat them. Others have suggested that anting is pleasurable, like a kind of bird catnip.

2011, Julie Feinstein, Field Guide to Urban Wildlife, Mechanicsburg, Pa.: Stackpole Books, →ISBN, page 199:

Anting. A behavior in which the fluids from ants, notably formic acid, are applied to the plumage and possibly the skin. There are two basic types of the behavior: active anting, in which the bird anoints its plumage with the bill, and passive anting, in which the bird allows ants to invade and anoint the plumage. […] Some individuals of these species, in unnatural situations such as in captivity, perform active anting with burning matches and cigarette smoke, moth balls, hair tonic, mustard, citrus fruits, numerous insects other than ants, and other substitutes. What causes anting and what purpose or purposes it serves, if any, need investigation.

2013, Olin Sewall Pettingill, Jr., Ornithology in Laboratory and Field, 4th edition, Orlando, Fla.: Academic Press, →ISBN, page 251:

(ornithology) The practice of some birds of rubbing live ants or occasionally other items into the feathers, possibly as a means of controlling parasites.

From Middle High German kirre (“docile”), unrounding of kürre, from Old High German *quirri, *querri, from Proto-Germanic *kwerruz (“calm”). Cognate with Danish kvær, Swedish kvar, Gothic 𐌵𐌰𐌹𐍂𐍂𐌿𐍃 (qairrus). The semantic development from “docile” to “confused” may have occurred in the context of flirting (kirre machen originally “make weak, amenable”, now usually understood as “make unable to think straight”); likely reinforced by the rhyming word irre (“mad”).

(hunting, ornithology) tame, accepting human fodder

murmuration

en-noun

murmuration (countable and uncountable, plural murmurations)

/ˌmɝməˈɹeɪʃən/

/ˌmɜːməˈɹeɪʃən/

1350–1400; Medieval Latin murmuratio (“murmuring, grumbling”). The “flock of starlings” sense is probably derived from the sound of the very large groups that starlings form at dusk.

bor

"Oh! I wasted most of my morning crawling to a murmuration of starlings, which I foolishly mistook for congregation of plover."

1893 September 27, The Bazaar, the Exchange and Mart, London, page 800, column 3:

The same dynamics can be seen in starlings: On clear winter evenings, murmurations of the tiny blackish birds gather in Rome’s sunset skies, wheeling about like rustling cloth.

2013 March 19, Ed Yong, “How the Science of Swarms Can Help Us Fight Cancer and Predict the Future”, in Wired:

Professor Anne Goodenough, an applied ecologist at the University of Gloucestershire who led the research, said: ‘It appears murmuration has become the norm – a general way for the starlings to stay safe from predators.’

2017 July 29, “Solved, the riddle of starlings' aerial ballet: Birds use acrobatics to ward off creatures of prey”, in Daily Mail:

(ornithology, collective) A flock of starlings, in particular when swarming in swirling patterns.

1985, Allen Keast, An introductory ecological biogeography of the Australo-Pacific Meliphagidae: New Zealand Journal of Zoology, volume 13, number 4, page 620:

The meliphagids, as their common name implies, are primarily nectar feeding or nectarivorous and were quite possibly prevented from any significant adaptive radiation on each main island by competition from the (presumably) earlier radiated Hawaiian honeycreepers.

2002, Alan C. Ziegler, Hawaiian Natural History, Ecology, and Evolution, page 263:

I am not familiar with any detailed studies of the ecology of nectarivores in the brushtongued parrots, meliphagids, and certain marsupial mammals in forests of Australia and New Guinea.

All other birds thought to be primitive [e.g. cuculiforms, opisthocomids, coraciiforms, musophagids, gruiforms (including the Cariarmidae), etc.] have definitive and often quite small feather tracts.

1995, Acta palaeornithologica: 3, Symposium SAPE: 5, Internationale Senckenberg-Konferenz, 22-26, Juni 1992, page 72:

Some of the other placements are so startling that Livezey and Zusi are unconvinced by their own results (e.g., opisthocomids [Hoatzin], steatornithids [Oilbirds] phoenicopterids [flamingos], and many of the smaller forest birds).

2007, Gary W. Kaiser, The Inner Bird: Anatomy and Evolution, page 177:
