| Résumé : | The breeding behaviour of the Madagascar Wagtail Motacilla flaviventris was studied at Andranobe on the Masoala Peninsula, Madagascar, for seven days in October 1993. Observations were begun during the incubation phase of the nesting cycle. Both sexes participated in incubating the two eggs, and brooding and feeding the nestlings. The behaviour of the adults differed markedly as it related to the feeding of the nestlings. Only one nestling fledged from the nest. |
