Songbirds must annually undergo two energetically demanding but important activities: breeding and feather molt. Due to the high energetic investment that each demands, these two events are generally not carried out simultaneously. However, subs[...]

Temporal variation in physical activity is mainly determined by the day–night cycle. While this may be true for diurnal species whose vision at night is often poor, the situation might be more complex in nocturnal animals as many such species ca[...]

Birdsong has been extensively studied in the context of sexual selection, and intersexual vocal communication prior to pair formation has been the focus of most interest. With the exception of conspicuous vocal duets of tropical bird species, de[...]

During migration, birds need to optimize their time and/or energy management, especially during stop-overs. Previous studies with caged birds under controlled condition support the notion that departure decisions are condition-dependent, but the[...]

A modelling approach is presented for describing the unique flight mode of aerial roosting Swifts. With reference to measurement results, a mathematical model of this flight mode is developed that describes the energy state of the bird and, in a[...]

Stress, as a temporary defense mechanism against specific stimuli, can place a bird in a state in which growth rates and resistance to diseases are diminished. The Cape Sugarbird Promerops cafer is an endemic specialist of the Cape Floristic Reg[...]

Intermittent incubation in birds is currently interpreted as the result of trade-offs between the needs of the embryo and those of the parents. However, the low nest attendance in some species is still puzzling. We studied the Crab Plover (Droma[...]

Individual variation in vocalizations has been widely studied among different animal taxa, and it is commonly reported that vocalizations could be potentially used to monitor individuals in many species. Songbirds represent a challenging group o[...]

Female birds can potentially utilise various mechanisms, such as intraclutch egg size variation (ICESV), to modulate offspring quality. If this represents an ‘adaptive’ strategy allowing females to adjust reproductive effort after laying of the [...]

Sleeping in the nest at the beginning of the breeding season is common for birds nesting in cavities. Here, we report evidence that European Bee-eaters Merops apiaster sleep in pairs in the nesting burrow. In 3.2% of the nest checks, we found tw[...]

Daily variation in ambient temperature is marked during the spring at middle and high latitudes, when birds have to physiologically prepare for the subsequent breeding period. The ability of birds to maintain homeostasis during this period is im[...]

The Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) is described as a key creator of nesting cavities. Nevertheless, data on nest depredation at Black Woodpecker cavities are scarce. We continuously monitored 72 Black Woodpecker tree cavities by means of c[...]

Nest abandonment prior to laying is poorly understood and rarely studied. One possible explanation is that it is a behavior which may have evolved in response to high predation risk in nesting birds as a strategy to avoid the even greater costs [...]

Plumage coloration in birds can be of major importance to mate selection, social signaling, or predator avoidance. Variations in plumage coloration related to sex, age class, or seasons have been widely studied, but the effect of other factors s[...]

The Socorro parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus brevipes), endemic to Socorro Island has long been treated as a subspecies by several authorities while others considered it to be a full a species based on different types of evidence. We reviewed th[...]

Birds often mob potential predators, which alerts other prey individuals of the danger and drives the predator away. Participation in, or increased intensity of mobbing is often associated with breeding activity suggesting an important function [...]

A well-concealed nest site is supposed to reduce nest predation risk; however, the expected positive relationship between nest concealment and nest survival does not exist in some passerine species, especially in thrushes. Previous studies have [...]

In some systems, brood parasites may be attracted by vocal or visual signals connected with host breeding. We studied a Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) population where annually 30–50% of nests are parasitized by the Common Cuckoo[...]
