Abstract
Summary Johnson, D.N. 1989. The feeding habits of some Afrotropical forest bulbuls. Ostrich suppl. 14:49-56. Ten species of bulbuls coexist in a 20 ha patch of secondary forest near Benin in Nigeria. Most are omnivorous and overlap substantially in diet. However, all feeding niches differ, and several species have behavioural adaptations enabling exploitation of an otherwise unused resource. Separation of feeding niches is largely based on the use of different foraging methods and feeding stations. Differing body size and the use of different vegetation strata contribute little to feeding niche separation.
