This design offers excellent protection against predators and harsh weather conditions. These nests are relatively small, usually around 10-15 centimeters in diameter, and are often hidden in dense foliage to protect against predators. Tailor-made, indeed!
I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge? SriLanka (375 / 436). Taking as a rule, the higher figure is more accurate. The Neotropics.
For example, one paper states that in SriLanka’s cloud forest, only about 3% of all trees have suitable cavities. Recognizing its value for eco-tourism and biogeographical research, it is essential to conserve this magnificent bird. Some research topics seem a bit bizarre to me.
But first, not thinking of proper research, I made no difference between questions, nor were the mentioned destinations really visited or only dreamed about. A lot more needs to be done to protect and sustainably utilise that biodiversity, although with the Brazil’s current president, it seems highly unlikely.
Fortunately for the honor of the species, the researchers found that kleptoparasitism was practiced at a low rate (4% of observations) while much more often, drongos captured insects disturbed by other species (41% of observations). The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection.
