TL;DR: On the whole, the birds did not show the stereotyped directional tendencies often reported in studies on wild birds, but tended to be oriented in directions ap propriate for reaching the ground area; this was especially the case of the black‐wood dove.
Abstract: The authors report data on initial orientation of laughing doves (Streptopelia senegalensis) and black‐billed wood doves (Turtur abyssinicus) displaced to sites, on land and at sea, 1–40 km from their home ground which was near the coast, in the area of the ORSTOM Ornithological Station of Mbour, Senegal. On the whole, the birds did not show the stereotyped directional tendencies often reported in studies on wild birds, but tended to be oriented in directions ap propriate for reaching the ground area; this was especially the case of the black‐wood dove.
