生长繁殖 Growth and Breed金啸鹟在澳大利亚8-2月(主要是9-10月)产卵,在豪勋爵岛9-10月产卵,在诺福克岛至少9-12月产卵。雄鸟和雌鸟都参与筑巢,巢是由树枝、草和树皮做成的浅碗,用蜘蛛网捆绑起来。每季只养一窝,两只鸟共同孵化和照顾幼鸟。一窝2-3个蛋,底色白色,淡奶油色或鲑鱼色,有深褐色、红褐色或深灰色和暗紫色标记的斑点和污点,通常集中在大端。蛋在产下15天后孵化,幼鸟在12天后离开巢穴。澳大利亚的孵化成功率为48.9-72.3%。最长的记录是超过18年的寿命。
保护状况 Conservation status金啸鹟中的诺福克金啸鹟亚种(P. p. xanthoprocta)由于栖息地的丧失和破碎化,以及可能由于引入的捕食者,如黑鼠,已经衰落了很多年。这导致它被澳大利亚政府列为易危物种。另一个岛屿亚种,豪勋爵金啸鹟亚种(P. p. contempta)仍然很常见,但由于其范围小,也被澳大利亚政府列为易危物种。
金啸鹟的英文介绍 IntroductionThe Australian golden whistler (Pachycephala pectoralis) or golden whistler, is a species of bird found in forest, woodland, mallee, mangrove and scrub in Australia (except the interior and most of the north) Most populations are resident, but some in south-eastern Australia migrate north during the winter. Its taxonomy is highly complex and remains a matter of dispute, with some authorities including as many as 59 subspecies of the golden whistler (one of the highest numbers of subspecies in any bird), while others treat several of these as separate species.在神秘的大自然面前,我们无知的像个孩子......
