Features
Collared bush robins like perching on protruding
objects or resting on bare ground. They often wander through
shrubs and along forest service roads or rest on stumps. They
feed on insects and breed between April and July. They build
their nests in tree holes, on mud walls along the road or in
rock crevices, about 1-5m from the ground. Nest materials include
moss, ferns, dry grass and thin roots. Their nests are 65-130mm
tall with a diameter of 50-65mm and a depth of 30-45mm. The
egg is 20x15mm averagely, light green in color with slight luster,
and without spots. Females usually lay 2-3 eggs at one time
and are responsible for incubation. Both females and males engage
in the duty of rearing the young.
Habitat:
Collared bush robins are endemic to Taiwan and widely spread
in mountain areas at altitudes around 2,000-3,500m. They are
fond of forest floor and often appear on forest service roads
or perch on bush branches alone. |
