Onto the sense of smell in macaws, amazons and toucans: can they use volatile cues of fruits to make foraging decisions?
Over the past decades, empirical evidence has been accumulated indicating that olfactory
information plays a fundamental role in bird life history. Nonetheless, many aspects of avian …
