摘要
本文为红嘴相思鸟生态学研究的初报。作者对红嘴相思鸟在金钟山北坡五种林型中的分布数量作了调查。红嘴相思鸟的繁殖期为3月—10月。每窝产卵3—4枚。卵均重3.1(2.9—3.3)克,大小为22.1(22.3—22.6)×15.7(15.1—16.0)毫米。雏鸟在巢期为10天。筑巢、孵卵、育雏皆由双亲担任。
This paper is a preliminary report on the ecological study of Red-billed Leiothrix(Leiothrix lutea kwangtungensis).The number and the distribution of Red-billed Leiothrix among five type standing forests in the North slope of Jin-zhong mountain were investigated by authors.The breeding period of Red-billed Leiothrix is from the beginning of March to the end of October.A clutch consists of 3-4 eggs.The eggs average 3.1(2.9-3.3) gms.in weight,22.1(21.3-22.6)×15.7(15.1-16.0)mm.in size.The young are fed in the nest for about 10 days.Nest-building,incubation of eggs and feeding the young are carried out by both parents.
