The avian predators The range of prey species found in caves is determined by the species of predator which fed there, and from the specimens examined in the present study it seems likely that avian predators were responsible for introducing most or all of the bird remains; they tend to leave bird bones relatively complete whereas mammalian predators tend to splinter and destroy them. Avian predators also tend to have a preferred prey size which may limit their range of prey significantly, and they may concentrate on some easily available Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
