S. N. Dhandhukia, K. B. Patel
Abstract :
The nest is commonly made up of twigs, grass and feathers and sometimes includes paper. Both the partners participated in the arrangement of the nesting materials. Both the sexes have participated in nidification, both the parents expended almost equal amount of energy in terms of number of feeding trips and amount of food delivered to the nestlings. A. tristis on an average, 18.8±3.12 twigs as nesting materials were collected per day. The number of days for nest building an average was 18.73±2.04 per day. A. ginginianus on an average, 12.87±4.64 twigs as nesting materials were collected per day and a pair took 15.25±4.08 days for nest building. S. pagodarum on an average, 14.12±5.03 twigs as a nesting materials were collected per day and the number of days spent by a pair for nest building an average was 13.5±3.27 per day
