Abstract

I describe the management of populations of the red-billed quelea (Quelea quelea) in eastern Africa for the purpose of protecting ripening cereals. The management strategy is to remove selectively only those quelea aggregations likely to come in contact with concentrations of vulnerable cereal. The opportunities for selective targeting vary among populations. Two models are presented here describing different quelea populations. The first is a general model to illustrate the relationship between migration, nesting, and damage. The second model describes the quelea population in the Ethiopian Rift Valley and the selective targeting of nesting colony groups for reducing damage to lowland sorghum in the Awash River Basin.
