Red-billed Curassow ( Crax blumenbachii ), a large, ground-dwelling bird belonging to the same family as the more familiar Plain Chachalaca of southern Texas, was never a very widespread species. Our strategy on each day was to be the first people on the road in the morning. Is that all we are going to get? Or so we thought.

You’d think that dressing in green to hide from predators inside a dense rainforest is as a strategy as plain as day, yet only a surprisingly limited number of bird species on Borneo have ventured down that evolutionary road. Interestingly, the females are more varied between the species and are far more readily identified.

It is a bit of an outsider in the bulbul family, being only one of two bulbuls in the genus Spizixos (“chirping bulbul” – a bit strange as many other bulbuls including the omnipresent Light-vented Bulbul also chirp a lot). The Collared Finchbill is a bulbul, even though the name does not state this directly.

So while the rest of my family slept in I nipped out to the park this morning to see how the swallows were doing. This strategy was also fraught with danger, as several Ring-billed Gulls patrolled, constantly checking to see if any swallows had become weak or indifferent enough for a gull to get a quick meal.

The worms that would have traditionally made up the thrush’s diet were baked into the soil and he needed to explore other feeding strategies.

Most Acorn Woodpeckers are cooperative breeders and live in family groups of up to a dozen or more individuals. The result of this cooperative breeding strategy is that fledging success increases with group size and survivorship is also significantly higher for all birds living in these larger groups 1.

Starvation and predators make it hard to grow up, and birds have evolved a lot of strategies to give (at least some of) their chicks the best chance in life. One strategy that varies among birds (and other animals) is the number of offspring. Seabirds are one group of birds that go for the latter strategy.
